Ramaswamy: Let Convicted Felons Carry Weapons

Politico reports:

Vivek Ramaswamy says convicted felons should be allowed to carry weapons. Appearing on former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s podcast, set to air on Thursday, the Republican presidential candidate was asked to flesh out what it meant to be a “Second Amendment absolutist,” as Ramaswamy has labeled himself.

“Everyone has a gun?” asked Cuomo, once a prominent figure in Democratic Party politics. “Everyone has an assault weapon? A former felon? No background check? Concealed carry?”

“Has the right to,” Ramaswamy responded. “And I do think concealed carry is important, constitutional carry is important.” He said background checks are “absolutely a legitimate part of the process” but that “law-abiding” gun ownership “deters many violent criminals from being able to roam the streets with guns as they do today.”

This is an incredible interview. Vivek Ramaswamy completely falls apart, lies, blusters, evades, filibusters and exposes himself as the MAGA Music Man. Total con. @mehdirhasan is in a league of his own. https://t.co/sMzS4NpeR2
