I don’t think we are going to find one man or woman who thinks as we do on every issue every time at a rate of 100%. Dr. Ben has many great qualities. If he ever ran for the white house, that’s where you hope to find something close to a balanced view that is acceptable in its totality.

Sorry, but I, along with most people on FreeRepublic, and a large percentage of the base of the GOP and a large # of independents believe that the 2nd Amendment is non-negotiable.

It would appear that Dr. Carson's constitutional knowledge and knowledge of history, is lacking where the most important amendment to the constitution is concerned.

If he is lacking on this fundamental issue, what else is he "half-way there"?

Is there a chance for redemption? What if Dr. Ben said a year from now, that “After a more complete appraisal of my comments in reference to the 2nd Ammendment, I have ‘evolved’”. and he now shares your opinion on private gun ownership being non-negotiable. Would you consider him then? Remember, we are talking about a surgeon, albeit a very good one. The Doctor has only now turned his full attention to matters that we discuss daily on sites like this one. Even highly successful professionals are at times open minded enough to learn something to a greater depth.
