Point here being, one can selectively quote to prove points, this recent article in facts outlines Ben Carson as being AGAINST gun control.
“On Monday at The New York Meeting, Dr. Ben Carson said he does not believe in gun registration because America’s massive debt could transform the nation into a third-world country in which martial law may be imposed.
Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who has been getting buzz in conservative circles, said that he changed his mind and was against gun registration because of the “sinister internal forces” that could surface in that scenario. He said he “used to think they needed to be registered, but if you register them they just come and find you and take your guns.”
“If we were only concerned about external forces, then we would be okay,” he said. “But there are some pretty sinister internal forces.”
““On Monday at The New York Meeting, Dr. Ben Carson said he does not believe in gun registration because...martial law may be imposed.
Carson...said that he...was against gun registration because of the “sinister internal forces” that could surface... He said he “used to think they needed to be registered, but if you register them they just come and find you and take your guns.”” (shortened for brevity, only)
I also have A PROBLEM with a person running for high office saying this (even though I and most of us agree with it), as it leaves him WIDE OPEN to attack from the left, who could EASILY label him as a paranoid kook. It was a REALLY DUMB thing to say in his situation. It’s almost like he’s trying to win back the Beck people, by trying to sound like them. Not good, at all.
Again, a MUCH EASIER answer is to simply say that the Second Amendment PROTECTS gun ownership and if people don’t like that, they can work to change the Constitution.
