Here we go again…
On Tuesday, Republican Nominee Donald Trump held a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina. Trump spent much of his speech criticizing Democratic Nominee Hillary Clinton’s political positions, specifically her stance on the Second Amendment. This criticism led to a discussion about the potential Supreme Court justices Clinton might appoint if she were elected. Trump made the following comment that has led to, yet another, a media blitzkrieg:
“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, that will be a horrible day. If Hillary gets to put her judges, right now we’re tied you see what’s going on, because Scalia, this was not supposed to happen. Justice Scalia was going to be around for ten more years at least.”
Instead of interpreting the statement as it was literally meant–that groups like the National Rifle Association and millions of law-abiding gun owners could turn out and vote for Trump, lobby against Clinton’s Supreme Court picks, etc.–the mainstream press, along with Clinton allies, asserted that Trump was calling for Clinton’s assassination.

Trump didn’t say ;
“A Mission to Mars!”
Like Bamster did!
Our local Austin, TX evening news, KXAN (NBC), just pulled another one on this. They cut off the video right when he said, “However, the NRA” and blam. Out of context and leaves an impression with the viewers. I looked at the KXAN facebook once back when everyone and their cousin was running for GOP and they were so left slanted it’s not even funny.
But the second amendment people can make sure it doesn’t happen. IF THEY COME OUT TO VOTE !
.........................................................
In my opinion, the Second Amendment People will be the First Out To Vote! Me included.
I tend to agree. Trump is calling the shots and has the media by the nose. Clintoon is aiding and abetting her own demise. Love it!
About 2 seconds of press coverage.
The Trump remark was a verbal Rorschach test.
Sane people heard a call to rally the vote.
Violent people heard a call to assassinate.
Who do you want in control of the government and courts?
Time better spent to explain to the stupid females what the truth really is. A great deal of stupidity lies in the spoiled female head. I’m Sooooooooooooooooooooo disgusted with many of them. All together they’re not worth my grandmother’s parasol.
Kristol is TRASH!
The first thing we need to do is get Trump elected! Priorities,Priorities!
BULL! He was making no such “joke.” Where were you when they were handing outbrains? You are just pushing the idea that Trump had malevolent thoughts. I whould STRONGLY suggest you watch FOR YOURSELF the sequence of events which led up to the reference to the Second Amendment people. You are swallowing the hook of the libtards.

Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,...... though the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.
He’s saying that the second amendment people would know what to do AFTER the election, once Clinton is already in a position to appoint judges. It’s clear as day.
Always read The Hill if you want a biased, pro Hillery account. If you WATCHED the actual speech, you would note the interruption by someone in the audience to whom Trump responded.
I agree that the Second Amendment People will know what to do to keep the second amendment, being one of them.
It was a promise.
Isn’t all publicity a good thing?
