'Rats want guns to kill others. Conservatives need guns to defend themselves from ‘Rat predators.’(Paladin2)

Was Donald Trump calling for Hillary Clinton's assassination when he spoke on Tuesday in North Carolina? The New York Times sure seems to think so.
This was Trump's apparently offensive quote: "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."
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?
In a Newsweek interview on Monday, Hillary Clinton excoriated the lobbying power of these very same Second Amendment people. "We need to elect leaders with the courage to stand up to the gun lobby," she declared. It is a remark that she has made time and again. But presumably Clinton isn't suggesting that standing up to the gun lobby takes a special kind of courage because this lobby has a particular capacity for violence?
Based on her stand, shouldn't Clinton's response be that Trump is encouraging Second Amendment people to lobby to block her appointments? Why would anyone claim that he is encouraging her assassination? . . .

Yeah, but if Hellary dropped over ... due to her stroke ... Trump would be blamed.
Anyone that thought that is/was an idiot.
Of course not, but it gave them something to talk about for a week, other than the content of his speech which was very good.
On the other hand, once they disembowel the 2nd amendment, it is in fact going to get ugly. Most people know it.
Liberals exposed because the TRUTH HURTS THEM...They know she wants to get rid of 2nd amendment
If you are an American Citizen who believes in the United States Constitution, you are a “Second Amendment Person”.
If you do not believe in the United States Constitution, you are a Hillary Voter and thus a Traitor to the Republic.
Expect more of this as time moves closer to the election. It will get more and more vicious as the Marxists try to insure their take over of America.
I unfortunately left the local news on last night and it transitioned to NBC evening news.
Liberal Lester Holt was peeing his pants. It was hilarious.
Most of us are law-abiding people.
The Clintons, however, are not. We shouldn’t forget that Mr Clinton killed 80 people at Waco, and wiped out a family in Idaho, enforcing gun laws.
The Clintons aren’t playing.
Remember how libs love Malcolm X and his “by any means necessary”?
The emails connecting the Clinton Foundation to pay to play at the State Department came out this week.
This is just the media wagging the dog for her.
I think Trump meant it as a joke. It’s just his sense of humor creeping in.
But liberals can’t take a joke.
I think the Hillary is corrupt reality is getting bigger and bigger and will overshadow this BS. That’s why they are trying all this stuff.
The truth bothers them Very interesting
Expect lots of that in the next months.

Yep. And darn few of those. The ones who expressed it know they are misleading and lying. That would be the press.
My only comment to the libs is: F-U if you can’t take a joke.
I wouldn’t care if he was. Liberals hanged Sarah Palin in effigy, made videos about Bush being killed, openly cheered in glee when Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimers... You think I care if he jokes about her getting shot? I don’t.
Was Trump advocating assassination of Clinton like Clinton was advocating assassination of Obama, previously?
No....obviously not.
But Trump does support and encourage people who go out and loot, murder, terrorize, vandalize and burn vehicles and businesses!
Whoops! Confused Trump with Clinton there for a moment.
