Donald Trump has hinted at the assassination of Hillary Clinton by supporters of gun rights.
The Republican nominee was speaking at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, about the next president’s power to appoint supreme court justices. “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” he said, adding: “Although the second amendment people – maybe there is, I don’t know.”
The second amendment to the constitution protects the right of Americans to bear arms. Trump has accused his Democratic rival of wanting to abolish it, a charge that she denies.

“This is simple – what Trump is saying is dangerous,” said Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook. “A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way.”
Jason Miller, a communications adviser for the Trump campaign, attempted to explain the candidate’s comments. “It’s called the power of unification,” he said. “Second amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power. And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump.”

The most dangerous place in America will be the space between Ryan and a microphone as he rushes to denounce Trump
Joke?
Truth.
Nothing is to far-fetched for the enemedia.
Trump may well be the first big-name national politician to publicly recognize that fact. (I've heard it from WV State legislators.) That alone should justify at least some minimal grudging support from conservatives and constitutionalists.
Cut me a break... unless Trump hides in a closet until the election the MSM is going to go full on attack against him weekly for anything at all. Get used to it... new theme each week.
Did I say he did? I said the media says that he did. Go check Google News.
Trolling for Hillary? Doing multiple repudiations of news articles attacking Trump on this site is good for Hillary I suppose.
Get a grip.
It just sounds to me like he’s suggesting that people would mobilize opposition to Hillary’s judicial picks. The MSM is in a panic today trying to deflect attention away from the fact that Hillary’s campaign invited the father of the Orlando Nightclub terrorist to share the stage with Hillary.
This seems to be another much ado about nothing episode. After a while, I think stuff like this is going to fall flat (wishful thinking, perhaps, but still).
Nobody is a bigger Trump fan than I am and every time he opens his mouth now he dribbles a phrase.
Sure, this will blow over but now we got to hear this for another couple damn weeks.
Being a 2nd amendment guy I knew roughly what Trump was saying... but if you are not familiar all Trump did was allow the media to finish his sentence.
Damn Trump. Wise the frick up!
Well, at least the anti-Trump lunatics are making this an entertaining election season.
The 2nd amendment people can do something in November — VOTE TRUMP!
Good grief, the old msn is at it again!
Yeah, coming to that insane conclusion is a reach longer than Michael Jordan’s.
When, in your lifetime, was Big Media in any mode other than 'socialist'?
Great find...have you sent to Drudge?
I doubt that it will be any 2nd amendment person to take out Benghazi Clinton. If she looks like she is going to lose, Obama’s handlers will take her out. She and Slick Willy the Rapist have been put on notice by Obama’s handlers that their lives depend on winning. Notice the recent uptick in Arkcide happenings?
Geesh..now I will not hear the end of it on Facebook! Or from others for that matter.
