Well guys, many people on here have said they don't trust Carson on guns. I have always like Carson, and his statements in a Bloomberg article just make ne like him more. I don't think he's a full blown politician yet, so I'd like to believe he means what he says. Here are a few quotes from the article:
“Perhaps I didn’t convey it appropriately,” he said. “I wanted to convey that, you know, I've lived in urban areas. I've worked in urban areas. I've seen a lot of carnage, and I'd prefer a situation where the kinds of weapons that create that kind of carnage don't fall to the hands of criminal elements or insane people. But that is secondary to the desire to always defend the Second Amendment.”
Carson said that “under no circumstances” would he “allow a bureaucrat to remove any law-abiding citizen's rights for any kind of weapon that they want to protect themselves.”
If he were in a position of national leadership, Carson said he would seek to allow people to possess any kind of weapon they can legally buy, including “automatic weapons and semi-automatic weapons.”
While we can already legally buy and own semi auto and automatic weapons, I am hoping he means he will help restore those rights in places like New York, ect and that he will work towards repealing the NFA.
