I lived in Baltimore, where Ben Carson worked as a neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins, for a decade. I met him. My wife went there for her residency and worked on patients of his.
I would suggest that his stellar acceptance on many aspects of conservatism but his failure on gun rights is a result of conditioning through living in ultra blue Bawlmer, working at ultra blue JH, and lacking exposure to any other thinking on the subject than Bloombergian.
We’ve had more than our fill of that nonsensical thinking (“I’m all for liberty and stuff, BUT…”). It’s what got us to this sorry point in American history and therefore it’ll never get us out of it.
You can forgive the guy, but don’t ever elect him.
