Now you’re just being presumptuous. It is no more so than for him to personally disrecommend a diet of cholesterol through the roof.

Thinking more Republican candidates will provide a better outcome is like thinking more actors will make The Expendables a better movie

My contempt highlights my opinion of your disingenuous attempts to change the subject away from the fact that Carson is NOT a friend of gun owners or the right to keep and bear arms.

I am sorry, I do not want every rich kook in my neighborhood to own cannons. It serves no useful purpose. Possession of arms is important to defend your home and family from criminals. It is not meant to fight the US Army. In places like Chicago & New York city, poor people are most subject to being victims of home invaders and robberies. And those are exact places where it is very difficult to own a firearm. That needs to change.

It is fine to have lot of candidates running.

However if conservatives have any chance, they must unite behind one candidate after first 6 primaries.

Apparently you don't want them to own semi-auto rifles either. As for the purpose, it serves the purpose of the original intent of the 2nd amendment.

Whatever arms are deemed adequate to defend home and family is just fine and dandy with me. No one needs cannons to do that.

Sound familiar? Without even realizing it you're putting forth one of the favorite arguments of the anti-gunners.

Yes, I am definitely against rich kooks to be able to buy cannons for home. Rifles, shot guns, hand guns, magazines with a dozen bullets, swords, bows and arrows, knives, numchuks, brass knuckles, are justt fine with me. Basically all defensive weapons are good in my book.

Then it appears that you consider anyone who owns or wants to own a cannon a kook?

You got it! Anyone who thinks he/she needs a cannon to defend home is a paranoid schizophrenic. Should see a psychiatrist ASAP.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to aim a cannon in the direction of an agile burglar/home invader? I recommend a short barreled 22 gauge shotgun. Much more effective in home defense.

Do you really think that the purpose of the 2nd amendment is to protect your home from burglars?

Your recommendation is a 22 gage shotgun. Do you actually own one of these? What brand? Do you own a firearm at all? Just curious. My personal recommendation for a home defense weapon is an UZI. Or if you have a LOT of money an H&K MP5-K

Royal Enfield 303 rifle which I inherited. Can take out a dude 1 km away.

Yes, I believe the purpose of 2nd Amendment is to forbid disarming the citizenry ala Jews in Hitler’s Germany, or citizens of any country ruled by a dictator. It is NOT meant to fight the US Army.
