Asserts the center-right pediatric neurosurgeon. From Mediaite [see video here]: "Appearing on Glenn Beck's radio show this past week, Dr. Benjamin Carson
took a vastly different stance from most conservatives on the issue of
gun control, claiming you shouldn’t be able to own semi-automatic
weapons in large cities. Carson became a newfound conservative hero last month when he spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast and laid out a series of criticisms of ObamaCare, political correctness, and tax policy right in front of
the president himself."
More: "Asked by Beck for his thoughts on the Second Amendment, Carson gave
the popular pro-gun argument: 'There’s a reason for the Second
Amendment; people do have the right to have weapons.' But when asked whether people should be allowed to own 'semi-automatic weapons,' the doctor replied: 'It depends on where you
live. I think if you live in the midst of a lot of people, and I’m afraid
that that semi-automatic weapon is going to fall into the hands of a
crazy person, I would rather you not have it,' Carson elaborated. However, if you live 'out in the country somewhere by yourself' and
want to own a semi-automatic weapon, he added, 'I’ve no problem with
that.'"
