Ben Carson on Obama’s Gun Directives: This ‘Needs To Be Worked out with Congress’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

TAPPER: "President Obama is set to announce executive actions having to do with further restrictions on gun ownership, the details haven't been forthcoming but our understanding is it may have something to do with closing the so-called gun show loophole and expanding background checks. What do you think about such measures?"

CARSON: "Well, you know, I believe very strongly that we have to be responsible as a society. There's no question about that. And I don't think there's anybody who wants dangerous weapons in the hands of, you know, dangerous criminals and mentally unstable people. But we also have to recognize where is this coming from? This is coming from a president who said, if you like your doctor, you can keep them. If you like your insurance company, you can keep them. Now this like saying if you like your gun, you can keep it. I don't know if I completely trust that. This is something that needs to be worked out with Congress, with the people who represent all of us. This is not something that needs to be done by executive order."
