Donald Trump Disarming Hillary Clinton's Body Guards Comment
Donald Trump Just Made Another Alarming Comment About Hillary Clinton and the Second Amendment
For the second time throughout this election, Donald Trump suggested Hillary Clinton would suffer the consequences of weakening the Second Amendment. Speaking at a campaign rally in Miami, he wondered what would happen if her body guards were disarmed.

"Take their guns away. She doesn't want guns . . . let's see what happens to her," he said. "Take their guns away, OK? It'd be very dangerous." In August, Trump suggested that "the Second Amendment people" might assassinate Clinton if she were elected. Clinton has publicly stated she has no intention of taking away the Second Amendment, but if elected, she does support a ban on assault weapons.
People were predictably outraged by the remark.
that sounded a lot like a threat #DonaldTrump on #HillaryClinton secret service crew "take their guns away and lets see what happens to her"

So @realDonaldTrump has now twice encouraged/hoped for someone shoot @HillaryClinton. He's unfit.

Trump is apparently incapable of discussing the Second Amendment without evoking a Clinton assassination. https://t.co/7kdvk3K7Bd
