How would it help us to have the Feds, which is Chock Full O’ Nuts, deciding who is sane enough to own a weapon?

Because he said nothing about the Feds to begin with.

That's what I think the problem is, people aren't really aware of what he said. All he spoke about is people governing themselves. State and local.

I’m not for gun control of any sort, all I’m doing is giving Dr. Carson the benefit of the doubt. I also believe State and Local Governments should have the rights to govern themselves. They already regulate a lot of this and have for a long time. I sure wouldn’t want the State, City of New York telling me what I can and can not have.

In the end, the Constitution should be the guide.

These articles highlight the kerfuffle with Carson pretty well.

It was all about the Feds from start to finish. I reread the entire article and no mention is made of state or local duties, only the Federal government is mentioned.
