Dr. Carson hints a White House run, exciting conservatives

Well, we don't know who the choices will be, but if it is Ben Carson (R) vs Hillary Rodham (D) vs Gary Johnson (L), it will be an easy choice for me.

Gary Johnson because your heart tells you to?

I liked Carson until the semi-autos thing came up. There is no perfect candidate, but I think there are better to choose from with a mindset like that on firearms.

Makes me like him more.

Me too but the bleeding heart media will tear him apart over it .

If this is what he'll say in an interview with Beck, I'm skeered to even think of his private thoughts of disarming the populace.

Any president has to have a bill to sign before it becomes law. I really doubt a republican congress is going to send an anti-gun bill to the white house. I'll predict zero gun control bills will come up as long as the republicans hold both houses of congress. There's too much important stuff to worry about.

Carson's got a long way to go to get nominated and there will be plenty of others to choose from.

Who ever will the Greens run in 2016, and more importantly, WHO CARES

Yeah, after reflection I spoke too soon.

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.

Well, they can send any bill they like to Obama but he still has veto authority and the republican majorities are not veto-proof. And, yes, he may issue executive orders...but that has nothing to do with republicans controlling congress. And, executive orders aren't really law...though they may have the weight of law. Congress can pass new laws to get around or overturn an EO but then the president still has veto powers. A vicious circle.

I wouldn't hold my breath on much of the NFA getting overturned by anyone, regardless of how much you or I would like that to happen. But it's possible something like "nationwide concealed carry" might be passed...stuff like that isn't out of the realm of possibility.
