Ben Carson: Let’s Put 2nd Amendment ‘On the Table’ and Ask Whether We Need it or Not

Dr. Ben Carson’s brilliance is beyond debate. However, there is a definite reason why I would trust the famed neurosurgeon to operate on my child’s brain and not entrust him with the Oval Office.

Now, the former presidential candidate has declared that it is time to “put on the table” a discussion on whether or not we actually need the Second Amendment.

I mentioned it a long time ago about Dr. Carson. If you have to keep getting "re-advised" on the meaning of the 2nd amendment, you probably, no, you for sure AREN'T the guy. He should be off the table for any cabinet post after that comment. Sturgeon major? Nah, he might ask for cdc funding to study "gun violence". Sorry Dr. Ben. Adios.

Lot’s of people, some of them here, have fawned over this guy. I’ve never really seen him as anything but a nitwit.

Doesn’t look as if I’ll be changing my opinion anytime soon!

Once we begin evaluating rights based on need, we will lose all of them

I’m fine with having a discussion about 2A...anyone who thinks it should be repealed or modified needs to submit their proposed constitutional amendments to do that, and try to get 2/3s of the congress and 3/4 of the states to agree.

Ain’t gonna happen.

I don't know Laz, I wouldn't drop the F bomb yet. Seems to me that Carson is challenging the Left to put up or shut up.

Either the 2nd Amendment should be abolished, or it's a natural right given to us by our Creator. I wish the Left would stop with this "common-sense" gun law crap and state their real intended purpose.

Oh? And just who or whom Dr.Carson (depending) will determine that?

You mean one of those extremely brilliant people with ZERO common sense? I’ve known a bunch of PhD’s who can’t figure out which way to put the batteries in a flashlight.

Eliminated early as he should have been. For once, something worked right.

I think most Americans with even a modicum of common sense would take a look around at our increasingly oppressive federal fascist regime and conclude that we absolutely DO need the Second Amendment.

The Founding Fathers were correct in their wisdom, the Second Amendment isn’t for sportsmen and hunters and target shooters, it is for WE THE PEOPLE to arm up and shoot the living sh!t out of ANY oppressive regime that tries to take over our Nation, either from the outside, or the INSIDE.

“From my cold dead hands!”

The left likes the “common sense” description because they know none of their proposals would have stopped the recent mass shootings.

NO, let’s NOT.

The last thing we need is any faction tinkering with the Second Amendment.
