In the Republican debate between Senate hopefuls in California, broadcast yesterday, the primary candidates were asked whether folks should be able to purchase guns, even if they are on government watch lists. Carly Fiorina and Chuck Devore stood in support of the Second Amendment. Tom Campbell, however, took a hard-line approach against the constitutional right to bear arms.
Campbell is a career politician and, when he isn’t in office, an academic. So perhaps he’s a bit out of touch. But on this issue, he’s even well to the left of Senate majority leader Harry Reid (who hasn’t spoken out on this issue, but it’s pretty safe to assume he’s against stripping Second Amendment rights from Americans considering the Nevada senator has NRA support this election).
