“Campbell was the first to answer a question about whether individuals on the no-fly list should be permitted to purchase a gun. He said they should not, but both Fiorina and DeVore disagreed.

“Oh my goodness,” Campbell said after the other two candidates answered.

“That’s why Tom Campbell has kind of a poor rating from the National Rifle Assn., right there,” Fiorina interjected.

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing,” Campbell said. “Wait until you’re off the no-fly list then exercise your 2nd Amendment rights. That is not an infringement on anyone’s 2nd Amendment rights, and it seems somewhat unusual to take that position, except perhaps in a Republican primary.”

Fiorina said she knew people who had been on the no-fly list and that the list has been “way too large.”

If those quotes are accurate, then Campbell is no conservative Constitutionalist.

I realize that is a question that might require thinking it over a minute before answering but the “no fly list” is not a list of felons only a list of people to watch. That is SPECIFICALLY the type of list that should not affect a persons 2nd amendment rights.

I fully understand that some or many of those on the no-fly list may be terrorists but there has to be a line where you do not infringe on liberty and freedom. This is one such line. Find another way to protect other than arbitrarily removing Constitutional rights from those who have not committed felonies.
