Dr. Carson hints a White House run, exciting conservatives

[Big John]

True, but what about pro gun bills. How about a reversal of the tide. Eliminate the machine gun ban, make suppressors over the counter items, short barreled rifles no long need a tax stamp, being allowed to buy any gun in any state (no need for being in your state of residence/surrounding state), national CCW with national laws, the list goes on. We need somebody that will sign off on this stuff!

I'm with you that there are lots more to choose from, now is the time to be picky, not when the individual has already been picked and now folks go for the alternative that has no chance on winning.

And this isn't directed at you, just adding to my thoughts:
why is it we get comfortable with the new laws placed upon us, we need to take advantage if we have control. That's what the dems do. I want to see bloomberg blow every cent he has fighting this stuff only to lose his empire and die homeless.

If BushMasterBoy was president there would be a lot more pregnant women...I would put Americans back to work!

But it's possible something like "nationwide concealed carry" might be passed...stuff like that isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Out of any "pro 2a" push, this is my biggest hope. The here and now right to self defense is a huge priority. When my wife visits her family in CA, with my two son's, she needs that right, just as much (or more) than she needs it here. Preferably it would be in the form of 100% reciprocity, and not a national permit, you know, like how a drivers license works.

I was stunned to hear Carson say that. It was especially jarring since he is such a smart and thoughtful person on virtually every other topic. I was thinking "so what happens if a semi-auto gun owner moves to a city - surrender guns?" and "how do you determine the boundaries of where each law applies - city limits? county?" Just clearly a lack of any serious thought, which shocked me.

Smart but uninformed. While I don't see him as president, hopefully he can educate himself on firearms and the 2a. There are few appointed positions I can see him fitting well.

If Dr Carson is the candidate in 2016 I'll vote for him because the first and most important thing is to wrest control of the Fed.Gov from Demonrats.

That said, I'm hoping that he's teachable because in most other regards I think he's a fine man and would make a decent president. Although I'd rather see him as Surgeon General under someone like a President Cruz or President Paul (or if we're dreamin' a President West).

Exactly. I think he just hasn't been educated on guns and the evils of gun control yet. In fact, it's early enough that COAR could write a letter to Dr. Carson asking him his position on guns while giving him facts. I bet you'd get a response, perhaps even a personal one.

He is an active seventh day Adventist which is mostly educated liberal/center. Bet he hasn't exposed himself to rural / gun owner crowd.

Most 7th day Adventists are democrats
Who live their life conservatively. I grew up as one. It's crazy stupid.

He is most certainly educated enough to know exactly what he said. Without the 2A the rest are history. Therefore, I for one will not vote for a person that needs to be taught.

So you would not vote for ChunkyMonkey?
