The new euphemism for incremental gun control?

"Ontheissues.org says Carson said that you shouldn't be able to own semi-automatic weapons in large cities. Huh? That's idiotic.

Carson might be an ok guy, but he's absolutely not presidential material. Just because a man can spout a few pearls of wisdom doesn't mean he can run a country as screwed up as America. And I definitely wouldn't vote for anybody who would suggest that a certain class of Americans (city dwellers) should be denied their Constitutional rights.

IMO, therein lies the problem: believing the President ‘runs’ the country.

Per the Constitution, he has a role...but a VERY limited role. Sure, the CiC is important, but (unlike some here...and, again, this is my $.02) it is not to be the world police (unless you want that New World Order along with).

He’s a smart man and, I’d presume, be open to change his mind RE: 2nd.

Not enforcing the existing Constitution and/or Laws...THAT is non-CiC material. Else, I’m not seeing what else ‘needs to be learned’ ahead of time.

Yep

Emperor meet clothes

I have nothing against him Personally and he makes sense a lot...with exceptions

But many of the dwarfs are just pimping their Q factor

It makes them more valuable

In open field elections Republicans love to do this

Bumps up the name

Free publicity

More money

All under the guise of helping get America back

I’ve seen this forever

We’ve got one anointed

Several maybes

And now the long shots

They all better get their speaking fee heads right by South Carolina or Jeb Bush is the nominee

It was polite talk. After he made the statement you quoted, I recall he did some public, wishy-washy (more polite talk) walkback on that statement.

However, IMO, your quote reveals the inner, gut attitude he has carried around for much of his life.

At least we ought to be tracing hot button statements like this back to the original remark. It is very easy to misrepresent somebody.

It’s possible for him to give an opinion about the wisdom of something without implying it requires banning.

That’s not what he said. Look up the exact quote.
