Donald Trump threw a new claim Hillary Clinton's way at a Saturday rally, telling the crowd that she wants to do away with the Second Amendment.

"Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to abolish it," Trump said at a Saturday rally in Lynden, Wash. "Hillary Clinton wants to take your guns away and she wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to take the bullets away."

"We're going to cherish the Second Amendment, we're going to take care of the Second Amendment."

Clinton is in favor of universal background checks, closing loopholes on gun purchases and increasing restrictions on domestic abusers and the mentally ill. And she wants to repeal the law that prevents victims of gun violence from suing retailers or manufacturers, among other measures.

But Clinton said at a recent event that "we can't ignore the Second Amendment" and has never proposed ending legal gun ownership entirely.

After Trump's comments, Clinton spokesman Jesse Lehrich tweeted that the presumptive GOP nominee has "no regard for facts."

Well, I guess Hillary is not going to win, then, because we know from the Bible that Israel will NOT be gone.

Too late in the evening - came back from a party with guys from Ft. Benning and the crew. Actually thanks for that :) But then, we can't have descent into disagreements either, right? :)

Bad grammar, the woe of descent into a morass of unlearning.

I must away to my fainting couch.

If she thinks that’s all it takes, she’s getting senile early. There’s still the Fifth Amendment (due process), the Ninth Amendment and the Tenth Amendment.

Not to mention I’m not the only one who knows where man’s rights come from and will happily tell her to go get stuffed.

That’s it in a nutshell. We have to face reality, and at this point it is very probable that one of two people will be the next President, like it or not. For me, the prospect of defeating evil such as Hillary Clinton embodies is a worthy goal in itself. Sure, Trump is not my ideal candidate, but on balance we’re better off with him than Hillary. It pains me that so many elections come down to a choice like this, but everyone on our side has had a fair shot and played by the rules, the process has worked out in Trump’s favor. Not much else to do now but salvage the Republic and try our hardest to get what we want from someone who will at least listen to our side. And sending Hillary packing is a net yardage gain IMO.
