Dr. Ben is a work in progress on a lot of issues that had never been anywhere near the top of his list before.
On healthcare he is at the top of his game. I doubt that he had ever spent much time thinking about the 2nd Amendment when he was fixing peoples brains. Seems like he had a full time job to me.
Now gun control and several other issues are spooling up for him as he moves to the national debate.
Your OP link is from last year. Now He has had time for a harder look and has changed his mind on gun registration.

by Tony Lee 10 Mar 2014On Monday at The New York Meeting, Dr. Ben Carson said he does not believe in gun registration because America's massive debt could transform the nation into a third-world country in which martial law may be imposed.
Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who has been getting buzz in conservative circles, said that he changed his mind and was against gun registration because of the "sinister internal forces" that could surface in that scenario. He said he "used to think they needed to be registered, but if you register them they just come and find you and take your guns."
"If we were only concerned about external forces, then we would be okay," he said. "But there are some pretty sinister internal forces."
He then asked the audience to think about a scenario in which countries around the world drop the dollar as their reserve currency.
"We have a national debt that is so high, and it's being raised even higher," he said. "Now, the only reason we can do that is because we are the reserve currency for the world. What if that changes?"
Carson mentioned that Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to "remove America as our reserve currency" if America imposed economic sanctions.
"What if other people come along?" Carson asked, saying China and the U.N have mentioned doing the same. "We would become a third-world nation overnight. Occupy Wall Street would be a walk in the park. And all of a sudden, the things that would be going on in this country which would necessitate marital law... all this could happen very rapidly. We should be really concerned."
