Suppose the phrase Second Amendment people had been replaced with any other special-interest group. Would there be any claims that Trump was threatening assassinations?

I don't know... maybe abortionists? Euthanasia supporters? Capital punishment supporters?

I guess the one good thing over this, if there is any as Trump got off message, is that it is now very clear where the parties stand on gun ownership and it may rally a few more folks to get out and vote from DT. But, I still wish he didn’t say it.

Why would he?

She’s already got one foot in the grave and the other foot on a banana peel.

I can't figure out why in the world Trump makes those types of statements off the cuff when he has to know the way the MSM will report it...

The man isn't dumb...

Why give the media fuel to report on BS instead of staying on message attacking Hillary...

During the primaries he would say outrageous things to keep his name in the news cycle...it worked very well...

This is the general, he doesn't need to market his name by saying outlandish comments.. he is the story every day...

They lying media twist something Trump said and we’re supposed to be alarmed? What about what the reckless decline and disastrous country killing policies those in D.C. have brought us for decades?

I guess they’d like us to simply forget all about those minor little details.

Right rich?

Official: No formal Secret Service discussions with Trump camp on remark

Reuters ^ | 8/10/2016 | alana Wise
Posted on 8/10/2016, 4:47:01 PM by grayboots

A federal official on Wednesday denied a news report that the U.S. Secret Service had formally spoken with Republican Donald Trump’s presidential campaign regarding his suggestion a day earlier that gun rights activists could stop Democratic rival Hillary Clinton from curtailing their access to firearms.

Pushing back against a CNN report that the law enforcement agency had had “more than one” exchange with the Trump camp about the remark, an official familiar with the matter told Reuters there had been no formal conversations with the campaign regarding the comment made to supporters the day before.

This was a classic strategic blunder on the part of Hillary. Like Nelson cutting the line at Trafalgar, Trump was able to carve off 2nd amendment supporters in one neat clean maneuver. Hillary can color that part of the vote gone - and a lot of 2nd amendment supporters are traditional democrats.

Trump wasn't calling for Clinton's assassination

No kidding. But the Democrats and the media made it all about the comment for a complete day which is all they wanted. Trump needs to know that anything he says will be pounced on and if it can be made to sound like something sinister then they will. He needs to watch what he says.

"Based on her stand, shouldn't Clinton's response be that Trump is encouraging Second Amendment people to lobby to block her appointments?"

That should be true of anyone that supports the Constitution.

Dumb people may fall for this, normal people will be put off by such silliness.

Keep your eyes open and see who’s who.

DNC media like to accuse us of being violent but I dare say that 95% of the violence in this country is committed by Democrats.

Maybe the percentage is even higher.
