A US Secret Service official confirms to CNN that the USSS has spoken to the Trump campaign regarding his Second Amendment comments.
There has been more than one conversation on the topic, the official told CNN.
The campaign told USSS Donald Trump did not intend to incite violence.
The controversy erupted on Tuesday afternoon when Trump said at a rally that Second Amendment defenders might be able to stop Clinton.
Hillary wants to abolish essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I dont know, Trump said. But I tell you what, that will be a horrible day, if Hillary gets to put her judges in, right now were tied.
Trump said Tuesday evening that he was simply trying to unify gun owners against Clinton in the voting booth.
This is a political movement. This is a strong political movement, the Second Amendment, Trump said to Fox News Sean Hannity. And there can be no other interpretation I mean, give me a break.
Supporters downplay remarks
The Republican presidential nominees supporters Wednesday attempted to quell the controversy, saying either that Trump was joking or that Democrats and the media were spinning it into something bigger than it was. Many interpreted Trumps comments as a threat to rival Hillary Clinton.
Corey Lewandowski, Trumps former campaign manager, said the billionaire businessman was trying to unite Second Amendment supporters to turn out to defeat Clinton.
This was a joke He wasnt inciting violence, Lewandowski told Chris Cuomo on CNNs New Day.
Ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday that the Clinton campaign and the press were misconstruing Trumps words.

Your are so conditioned by the MSM that you don’t remember what it is to have someone as transparent as Trump running for office.
And, yet, it’s Hillary leaving the trail of bodies behind her.
I understand Trump just fine. You appear to need a bottle.
Hillary wants to abolish essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick(CROWD BOOING) If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I dont know. But but Ill tell you what. That will be a horrible day. If if Hillary gets to put her judges right now, were tied. You see whats going on.
XXX you see whats going on? We tied because Scalia this was not suppose to happen. Justice Scalia was going to be around for ten more years at least and this is what happens. That was a horrible thing.
So now look at it. So Hillary essentially wants to abolish the Second Amendment. Now, speaking to the NRA folks who are great when you when you and Ill tell you, they endorsed me.
(APPLAUSE)
They endorsed me very early. My sons a member. Im a member.
If you we can add I think the National Rifle Association, we can add the Second Amendment to the Justices they almost go in a certain way, hand in hand. Now the Justices are going to do things that are so important and we have such great Justices, you saw my list of 11 that have been vetted and respected.
(APPLAUSE) And have gotten great. And they to a little equate but if you dont do the right thing, either youre not going to have a Second Amendment or youre not going to have much of it left. And youre not going to be able to protect yourself, which you need.
You know, when the bad guys burst into your house, theyre not looking about into Second Amendments, and, do I have the right to do this? OK, the bad guys arent going to be giving up their weapons.
But the good people will say, oh, well, thats the law. No, no, not going to happen, we cant let it happen. We cant let it happen.
Do you remember when Palin put targets on the states on the map of the US? Or the so called Jewish star on that thing that Trump put out? (Shaking my head).
UPDATE: Secret Service never formally spoke to Trump camp about gun rights comment
Goebbels would be proud of CNN.
But there was no criminal intent! Use the Hillary-Comey defense!
I sure do. Didn’t they use that to blame her for the shooting of Gabby Giffords?
That sheriff’s star was probably the dumbest media contrived story about Trump, and that’s saying something.
Yes, I was just coming to update! Will CNN acknowledge?

Why aren’t people talking about what Trump actually meant...reconstructing...”if Hillary gets her judges in...nothing you can do...she wants to abolish the 2A...maybe second amendment people have something they could do about it...”
Trump was talking about american gun owners not allowing their guns to be taken...armed resistance. Not harming Hillary, not the voting power of the NRA. The cartridge box solution.

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.
