Oregon shooting survivor offended by Ben Carson’s remarks

Critics have said his remarks appeared to blame the victims of shootings, including the latest one at an Oregon community college.

But more than 300 faculty disagree, and have signed a petition stating they will not permit armed students into their class.

Ben Carson said Tuesday he would have confronted the shooter at Umpqua Community College if he had been there and would have asked everyone else to gang up on the shooter with him.

During the Wednesday interview on Fox, host Martha MacCallum pressed Carson on the comments after he blamed the media for twisting his words. Discussing the law with NPR’s Ari Shapiro in June, he explained, “my time in the military has always been one that taught me that, you know, you argue a point up until a decision is made”. “He can not shoot a whole group of people. I would feel more comfortable”, Carson said in a new interview with USA Today’s Capital Download.

But unlike the front-runner, Donald Trump, Carson does not attack his rivals or shout from the stage.

“We’re a country clearly suffering from crisis of gun violence”, Carusone said.

“I said what I would do….” “Look, stuff happens, there’s always a crisis”. But he’s joined the rest of the GOP’s 2016 class in refusing to support new measures to stop mass shootings. “As president, Carson said he would shrink government through attrition, making cuts across the board, having every department head reduce their budget by 3 to 4 percent and implementing a 15 percent flat tax”. “The impulse in Washington is to try to take advantage of these situations and create broad restrictions on gun rights without having a focus on whether it would have changed the course of that particular event”.

HILLARY CLINTON: We have to act against those people who should not have guns in the first place. “I’ve been involved and invested a lot to help the issue of mental illness in Ohio. And when people like me represent that kind of voice, boy, are they getting concerned”.

You see, the buying power of the middle-class and poor people going down. That available training is not limited to law enforcement officers.

Carson has come under criticism for saying that if he were there, he would have tried to stop the gunman who killed nine people. Compared to most politicians, in fact, he speaks barely above a whisper.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz also blasted the president for trying to politicize the tragedy.
