BLITZER: How about gun control?
CAIN: I support the 2nd amendment.
B: So what’s the answer on gun control?
C: The answer is I support, strongly support, the 2nd amendment. I don’t support onerous legislation that’s going to restrict people’s rights in order to be able to protect themselves as guaranteed by the 2nd amendment.
Someone should tell Cain that the 2nd amendment says nothing about the right to be able to protect yourself.
Also, that sentence doesn't actually make sense. I'm betting most people did what I did and simply read into it something that would make sense.
Literally, he said that onerous legislation restricting people's rights would enable them to protect themselves, but he wouldn't support that.
But he wouldn't have gotten into that mess of a sentence if he knew what the 2nd amendment actually said.
Gun control is a steady hand and hitting what your aiming at!
