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.”

Trump is now going to have clarify that he doesn't want Hillary assassinated otherwise they will run with this for days, feigning outrage, riling up the public, and causing more GOP defections.
Oh brother.
Good grief. They are in full on attack mode.
On the same day that the Orlando terrorist murderer’s father is in the second row of dignitary guests at Hillary Clinton’s Florida rally! Really good timing, Donald. You give the media the chance to obscure a possible game-changing event by running your mouth, no matter what you intended you have to know what they will say you said.
In other news, Hillary has contacted the Klingon High Command to vaporize Trump.
He never suggested violence and he has already put out a clarifying statement. Pinkbell trolling for Hillary again.
The 2nd amendment is a “open kill order” against tyranny, is the News media calling Hillary a Tyrant?
B/S. Trump was alluding to the intent of the second amendment. She can try to annul the second amendment all she wants, but she’s NOT going to take our guns, ie, “You want my gun, come and TAKE it!”
It’s the usual trick of taking statements out of context to make opponents say whatever you want in order to demonize them.
Funny how you always seem to post ‘Concern’ articles....
Joke, people. Geez considering all of the comedians are in the tank for the Left, they sure don’t have much of a sense of humor.
Good grief, what did the old msm think up now? What a bunch liars they are.
The second amendment was adopted because Americans have the right to protect themselves from an oppressive government.
Doesn’t ANYONE know history?
From the comments I saw, that was the CONTEXT in which Trump spoke.
Trump said “2nd Amendment people”....he DID NOT say “criminal people”....good grief!!
AMEN!!! The media is in ‘socialist’ mode...all out to get Hillary in the White House to keep the gravy train going, they don’t care what lies or what they have to do to get her there, just like she doesn’t care what she says or does to get there...
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! SHE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOU OR AMERICA!!!
Thank-you Jim for setting the record straight! God Bless!
How is doing rallies “running his mouth”? He can’t control the never ending spin. Instead of joining it, fight it.
Hillary has invited a mass-murdering, gay hating Muslim terrorist’s Dad, who also hates gays, to her rally and Trump just took that off the screen by talking about this!
I don’t get it.
He should be talking about Daddy Terrorist, fair game, gay hating, sick Muslim, but hands her a get of jail free card.
