The candidates had one of their liveliest moments during a lightning round in which they were asked whether anyone on the federal government's no-fly watch list should be able to purchase a gun.
Campbell said no, while Fiorina and DeVore said yes.
That caught Campbell off guard. "Oh, my goodness," he said, sparking laughs.
"It's called the Second Amendment, Tom," DeVore said.
"That's why Tom Campbell has kind of a poor rating from the National Rifle Association, right there," Fiorina chimed in.
Campbell said someone should wait until he is off the no-fly list before buying a gun. Fiorina disputed that, saying that many people undeservedly land on the no-fly list, while DeVore said it would infringe on one's right to a trial.
"That is not an infringement on anybody's Second Amendment rights," said Campbell, a former law professor at Stanford. "It seems somewhat unusual to take that position – except perhaps in a Republican primary."

I really wish I could support this guy because he has so many great ideas, but when it comes to certain issues the man is just a dunce.
