Republican presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson was asked at a campaign event in Ankeny, Iowa on Friday how government can curb gun violence like what happened in Roseburg, Oregon on Thursday.
“Gun control only works for law-abiding citizens,” Carson told reporters. “It doesn’t work for crazies.”
Carson had told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday that more gun control was “not the issue.
“Obviously, there are those who are going to be calling for gun control,” Carson told radio host Hugh Hewitt. “Obviously, that’s not the issue. The issue is the mentality of these people.”
Choosing the most qualified Republican candidate for president: It doesn’t work for crazies.
. “Obviously, that’s not the issue. The issue is the mentality of these people.”
Yes, but enough about the Republican Presidential wanna-bes … what about gun control?
Crazies will violate traffic laws, so no more speed limits. Crazies will abuse drugs, so abolish drug laws. Crazies will rape women, what good does it do to make rape illegal?
Try to be more helpful, doc. How about requiring notarized recommendations from non-family members as well as a gun safety class that includes a psychological screening test? Know what? I think someone staring down at his toes would serve as a red flag, don’t you? What a GD idiot!!!
How comforting, a neurosurgeon referring to people with mental disorders as “crazies.” Guess they couldn’t hear you talking about them that way while they were anesthetized.
