Gary Johnson Gets It (Finally!)

It took Gary Johnson half a week, but he finally reached the correct conclusion about guns.

From Reason:

"I understand how so many people can believe that if you restrict this kind of weapon you can prevent this kind of incident," said Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson in reaction to the murders in Orlando and the political calls to further restrict access to certain guns that arose after the shooting. 

"But there's just no evidence whatsoever to suggest that it makes us any safer, and in fact restricting guns makes things less safe, that's the camp that I'm in," he said in a phone interview this morning.

Johnson even had his campaign issue this statement (also from Reason) about using no-fly lists to restrict guns:

His campaign told Daily Caller in a written statement from Joe Hunter, Johnson's communications director, that "Gov. Johnson believes Second Amendment rights are too fundamental to be denied without due process, and being put on a list arbitrarily by the government is certainly not due process."

Ultimately, we should not only have more people WITH guns, but also trained in how to use them properly.
