Ben Carson said in the aftermath of the latest school shooting, “we need to be looking at the mentality of these individuals and seeing if there are any early warning clues” during an interview Thursday with Hugh Hewitt. (RELATED: Mass Shooting At Community College In Oregon)
Carson explained, “obviously there are those who are going to be calling for gun control. But you know, that happens every time we have one of these incidents. Obviously, that’s not the issue.” Further explaining, “The issue is the mentality of these people.”
Hewitt asked Carson how invasive that investigation into ones background should be and Carson responded, “I guess that depends on what you find. If you find things that lead you further back, you keep going further back.”
Carson continues, “If it doesn’t look too suspicious, you leave it alone. But you know, what I worry about is when we get to the point were we say we have to have every gun registered, we have to know where the people are and where their guns are, that’s very dangerous. And that I wouldn’t agree with at all.”
