So, he’s running for president then?

He’s an elitist. Don’t trust him until he apologizes, specifically for being an elitist douche who was blinded by the Progressive narrative, and means it, and proves he suddenly understands the simple concept of liberty after rejecting it all his previous life. It won’t happen of course, but a man can dream.

You can’t expect enthusiastic support of liberty, considering his cultural background. He can’t help it; after all, he’s lived his whole life as a…
Surgeon.

Carson spent a large portion of his life in Baltimore, MD, where anti-gun propaganda permeates the very air one breathes. I’ll give him a pass on this one, because he listened, thought, learned and “evolved” on the issue in the direction of individual rights and liberty.
Name another politician or celebrity who has “evolved” in that same direction, rather than going more collectivist, statist, totalitarian elitist.

I’ll give him a pass IF he reads the Constitution in the same objective way that he would peruse medical information paying particular attention to “delegated powers” vs the declared rights of the people.

Ron; That, and if he reads the entire Affordable Care Act and all of its references and cross references, and gives an essay on the specific meaning, derivation and implications of each page. Just for the experience, for someone who hasn’t shown that he has a problem with Social Engineering.
He’s a scholar, right? Shouldn’t be a problem for him. Same goes for each and every member of Congress, and the president, and the nine justices of SCOTUS, and each of all of the aforementioned’s underlings. Well, the ACA of course would be just the appetizer. After that they should have to do the same thing with the tax code. When they’re all finished and have been graded, they can go back to work. Thus we could be a free society for the next fourteen thousand years.

Lyle, I agree! Every elected official has duty to read, apprehend and obey the Constitution and ALL the Bill of Rights. They are our EMPLOYEES and for them, those documents define their job description.

@Mikee: I don’t see evolution of anything but political ambivalence. Carson did not say, “I was wrong and learned about fundamental rights and am sorry.”
No, he says he is sorry we didn’t understand what he really meant (even though we did), and that he did not do a good enough job explaining (talk slow enough) to all us hillbillies that what he was really saying (even though he wasn’t), was that criminals should not have guns. Or something.
You see, when we parsed Carson’s words about semi-auto guns being evil based on zip codes (remember, he is doctor so really smarter than us, doncha know), we were too stupid to have understood what he really meant was that semi-auto guns are actually awesome, but that bad guys are…umm…more bad with semi-auto guns (which still need to be controlled because “bad guy’). I am so happy to have him explain how dumb I am, is understanding all his smart words (after all, he is a doctor). Thanks.
Back to the land of the living, breathing, thinking conservative: Carson had two approaches – explain how he learned something by being wrong; or explain how the people failed him by misunderstanding what he really meant.
One is a path of honor. The other one is the path of the man currently sitting in the White House.
You decide.
