My view? That is nonsense. The left has made inroads across the board because it is passionate about an agenda - gun control is just one facet.
Inroads? Look at the WH and the character and political inclinations of this administration's past and current personnel. Look at our nation's education system, K through post-graduate. Look at the results of Political Correctness.
My take is that Carson wants to have a public discourse about the 2nd Amendment that flushes out the Left...
Agreed, and by definition that isn't going to happen. Who will moderate that discourse? Gwen Ifill? The MSM? How likely is it the left will change its position?
IMO, BC's desire for a conversation compares with beauty pageant contestants who desire the world to be free of poverty.
Have a nice evening. Seriesly.
All I'm saying is, where is OUR passion? There is none. Where are the slick ads, the emotional, heart-string tugging spots about defenseless women exercising their 2nd Amendment rights and blowing away the bad guys who ignore a restraining order harassing them?
The NRA or GOA should be running ads featuring how the 20th century was the most bloodiest of all human history thanks in part to gun control.
If Carson can get the Left to reveal their true objectives, then more power to him. You have to remember that Carson posed the question as to why people don't fight back when there's an active shooter. That alone caused stomach cramps and nausea among the liberal elites and changed the narrative.
I'm not defending Carson nor criticizing him. I'm just thinking that he's daring the Left to come out and say they want to abolish the 2nd. We need to have this debate instead of allowing the Left to continuously increment their agenda.
