Stephen Colbert: Well, the right to have an individual firearm to protect yourself is a national document, in the Constitution, so shouldn’t that also be applied national…

Jeb Bush: No. Not necessarily…There’s a 10th amendment to our country, the Bill of Rights has a 10th amendment that says powers are given to the states to create policy, and the federal government is not the end all and be all. That’s an important value for this country, and it’s an important federalist system that works quite well.

What an embarrassment. What do some republican voters see in this guy? I don't understand why other than name recognition based on the family he belongs to to.

It is absolutely frightening that people who aspire to the highest office in the land have such an abysmal understanding of the country's foundational structure.
