Trump basically said Hillary should drop her security, and "see what happens". This is the type of dangerous talk that erodes the western idea of peaceful transfer of power. If she had said the same thing about him, he'd be demanding an investigation for incitement to violence. This is no game, this is not a joke. This cuts to the core of what kind of society we want to be long term.
There is no place in a western pluralistic society for ANY politician to talk like that. Trump talks like a hero and a badass, so why isn't he taking a physical shot at her himself, if she is so evil? Because he doesn't really think that, he is just pandering to fear. He is the most vile coward I have ever seen in my entire history of paying attention to politics.
More accurately he said her security should drop their guns if she doesn't want guns.
BULLSHIT....
That is the 30 year old GOP/NRA fucking lie that democrats want to get rid of every single firearm. I am tired of that fucking bullshit. Saying we have a flooded market and that guns are too easy to get is not a ban on all guns. Just like if one were to lower speed limits and demand catalytic converters be on cars is not a ban on all vehicles.
"and see what happens" is a veiled invitation for his followers to "do something" so he doesn't have to be held responsible for what his followers do.
There is no political litmus test to own a firearm and liberals own them too. BUT sane people simply know we make too many, they are too easy to get. I have yet to get a good answer as to how many would be enough before we stop pumping them out like candy? We already have 300,000,000 firearms. How about 1 billion firearms? 10 billion?
Now that asshole isn't willing to drop his own security detail himself so this is just a fucking coward's bullshit Jerry Springer act.
He also knows that a president, as an individual DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER to overturn an amendment by themselves. To overturn an amendment it takes VOTERS and 2/3rds of all the 50 states to do that. The 2nd amendment is in no danger of being overturned. THE WORD regulation is in that amendment, just like mandated seatbelts is a regulation. THIS is just more bullshit fear by Trump/GOP/NRA TO protect gun makers profits. Same bullshit scare tactics big tobacco used to avoid changing their marketing tactics.
He is a fucking coward and a bully and a dangerous demagogue.
