Several Gulchers have asked about Dr. Ben Carson's position on the 2nd Amendment. In this short clip, he doesn't sound all that knowledgeable about guns. On the other hand, he supports the 2nd Amendment within certain limitations. Probably needs to educate himself more on this issue if he decides to run for office.

    Local decision implies democratic decision. That is an abrogation of natural and individual rights. Again, the old definition by one of the founders - 'Democracy is three wolves and a sheep deciding on what to have for dinner.' (paraphrased)

    Wow. His answer was not well thought out at all. I'm really surprised, given what I've heard from him in the past.

    I kind of like his answer. It’s reasoned. Why can’t both sides sit down and discuss their fears? He expressed what his personal views are toward assault weapons, but perhaps after learning more about the issue he will acknowledge that his views would have to take a back-seat to what people want or perhaps his views will evolve. I trust him to take the right steps.
