But you certainly should have access to any kind of weapon that you want for recreational purposes or to protect yourself. There really shouldn’t be a lot of restrictions on that.”

Right, and a tank is not what you need; anti-tank weapons are what you need to protect yourself from out-of-control government. But if you really WANT that fat easy target, you should be able to own it.

Carson is clearly not presidential material.

Maybe not, but I'd love to see him preside over the dismantling of HHS, then the EPA, the two DOEs (energy and education)...

Any potential candidate who is not comfortable with me or any other law-abiding, adult, non-felon citizen walking into a gun shop, buying a semi-auto pistol, loading a standard capacity magazine for said pistol with JHP rounds, dropping it into a holster or pocket and walking out, no questions asked, background check or permit necessary, does not understand the 2nd Amendment, is a Statist, and undeserving of our votes...

Rhetorical question: If there are "no questions asked", how does the gun seller know that the buyer is in fact a law-abiding, adult, non-felon citizen? Or a citizen at all? Or has just escaped or been released by judicial fiat from a mental institution?

Yeah they have tanks, we have deer rifles.

It's not all that difficult to bake the contents of a MRAP.

100 million firearms are all that stands between us and boots on our throats.

Seriously, what do you think the current admin would do if that situation didn’t exist?

[Yosemitest]

The same thing the Nazis did before we stopped them.
And that same solution ... is what we are going to HAVE TO DO to these FASCISTS/MARXISTS.
