yeah, that gun control issue is a blind spot for him.

Actually, it’s a blind spot for a lot of doctors and a lot of cops who are otherwise pretty conservative. They see guns do bad things all the time, so they are reflexively pro gun control without thinking it through.

BTW, that’s not an excuse - just an observation

If a doctor can’t understand that guns can’t jump off the table, aim and pull their own triggers, then they don’t have much common sense and don’t deserve my vote.

I agree with your observation there. But I think Carson is an "always learning" type of person, and he could learn more about this issue in traveling to areas out West, for instance. He has lived or worked in cities all his life until recently.
