I'm a Cruzader, but Dr. Carson did a very good and thoughtful job in this interview.

Todd's obvious bewilderment why anyone who would dare imply our government would be tyrannical is an insight into the cluelessness of the Left and their ignorance of history.

Great article. Of course the Trump sycophants will soon dive into the thread and express their grave concerns

Sure Doc, sure. But what about semi automatics in large cities? (cough)

The media ignores any facts that are contrary to the progressive narrative.

The media is our real enemy. The Democrats are just along for the power trip.

Ben Carson: Govt Finds It ‘Much More Difficult to Dominate People Who Are Armed’

Unfortunately for those whose lives have been destroyed or disrupted by the jackasses who run this country, this statement applies to people in Iraq and Afghanistan, too.

Well the South side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware of a man named Leroy Brown

...

He got a custom Continental
He got an Eldorado too
He got a .32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe

That is one perspective and well stated..

What I feel is they take whatever you say and try to make you justify it...

OK, make them state their reasoning first and position yours against...

They are claiming the High Gound via the Media and numbers in effect saying we are here and right in all we do...

We need to quash unaligned thoughts as our higher purpose is best for you in the end...

Why should you fear us, we only want whats “best” for you...

Rebellious thought must be “condescended to” or pushed off as mere sour grapes or outrageous and ...Racist

In short, they do not love you, only Money...

So fear and doubt set in, do I stay with what I have, or risk it all and say I want a new road...

We fall back almost always into defending our thoughts rather than simply asking them Why they are asking and what position they are in so I can respond appropriately...

Are you seeeking to learn?

Or merely an agent of the current residents and their minions, acting for them to protect what is and denigrate your attempts to “change things”

And using your position as “reporters” to millions and assumed “authority” or justification they listen and many are led astray...

Would anyone on the thread who supports this man care to take a stab at explaining how this squares with his desire to disarm people in populated areas?

Because regardless of who one supports, this is pure doublespeak.

Truth be told the Obama government is doing a fine job of dominating US legal citizens.

***who would dare imply our government would be tyrannical***

During the 100 years war, the English held because of the archer militia companies they raised which cut the French to pieces. The English archers were free men.

The French also managed to raise some archer companies but soon ran into a problem.
The French archers were made of serfs and peasants conscripted for archer service.
Once armed, the French archers considered themselves FREE MEN and were “reluctant” to return to serfdom and peasantry after their service was no longer needed.
So the French Nobles preferred Genoese crossbowmen mercenaries.

I’d like to know if he’d sign a National CCW reciprocity bill or repeal of NFA 34 or GCA 68 if they landed on his desk as president. The former is a possibility, the latter two are unlikely of course, but more of a theoretical question.

Seems like early on he was a bit weak/confused about gun rights, someone whispered in his ear and now he’s talking like a hardcore 2A activist.
