In 2016, to say a controversial politician should not get protection anymore basically means to say one is okay with said politician being killed. People who make such statements about Geert Wilders disgust me, and people who make such statements about Hillary Clinton disgust me too. I understand the argument "politician X is against guns yet their bodyguards are armed and that's hypocritical", but Trump's formulation was purposely different. Such ambiguity can have dangerous consequences in turbulent political times like these.

Exactly. There is no place for Presidential candidates to be talking like this, especially considering the outer fringe element that follows Trump's every word.

He's not encouraging anyone to kill her, true, but he's making sport of the idea that Hillary Clinton would be shot. That's not acceptable by any stretch.

Trump is shaping "new normal". Right now. Right here.
He's trying to, definitely. Hopefully the American electorate is smart enough to realize what a dangerous path this leads down...
What good can you see occur from a political system that revolves around violence and the spectre of violence? Maybe I'm a dumb liberal cuck and need enlightenment about why we want that...and what the ultimate goal would be.

Do you think that there is absolutely no correlation between BLM demonstrations and violence against police officers, you know, the guys who keep us safe, risking their lives? Whatsoever? Could someone predict it?

Trump lets you get a taste of your own medicine. But he magnifies it somewhat enormously.

     Trump was making a somewhat flawed point against gun control. The point worked better when it was made against Rosie O'Donnell, who was employing armed bodyguards to protect her family, as opposed to Clinton who has been assigned government employees.

     Still, trying to spin this as a threat on Clinton's life is hilarious.

Frightening! I don't think they are really listening to what he's saying. They are just latching onto what they want to hear, and that's all. The rest of the garbage Trump spews "doesn't matter."

I hope their ignorance doesn't take the rest of the country down with them when they vote in November.

Exactly. If Trump becomes a model for success, and future politicians take after him, then politics will become even more of a mess of empty rhetoric and bombast than it is now.

What an effin liar Trump is. He continually says Hillary wants to take away your guns. That's a complete lie.

Many of the people who say/think such things will never equate "gun control" with anything less than the complete repeal of 2nd amendment rights. It's really that simple for them. It doesn't matter if she (or any other Democrat for that matter) sat there for 2 hours face-to-face and explained to them her ideas and exactly what she means. They would walk out of the room saying to each other "she is lying. she wants our guns." They would think the same no matter who it was.





The leftist do want a full repeal of the 2nd amendment.   What Trump said was right, If she wants to disarm the citizens why should she have the luxury of armed guards with those scary assault rifles?    Oh of course she wants a "assault weapons ban", but its clearly obvious the plan here. See the Communist republic of California and its assault weapons bans.  Its damn near impossible for law-abide folk to carry firearms.


Why should we trust a crooked liar anyway with the subject of guns?       

As usual, your post has no basis whatsoever in reality. It is easy as $hit to get most types of firearms anywhere in Cali.

Your frothing paranoia does note what the vast majority of gun owners, even non-dolts unlike present company. 1) contrary to any evidence, gun owners believe Clinton, and indeed most Democrats, deeply want total gun confiscation. 2) even the most common sense, tepid legal restrictions on gun control, even those supported by overwhelming numbers of gunowners, are flatly considered the first step towards total gun confiscation.

I am homestly afraid to take any stance against the 2A....especially with Trump and what he encourages his followers to do...we might need the 2A to keep ourselves safe.

This story is desperate, overblown BS. Only someone dropped on their head as a child could honestly interpret this as a death threat.

^^

Yup. It's incredibly obvious what he meant by the statement: If she's so anti-gun then why is it okay for her to have armed guards while the average person in the street isn't allowed to bring a weapon to defend themselves. The argument isn't terribly convincing, but this statement isn't what its detractors make it out to be.

when has Clinton ever said that?

also, how deepin the sand do you have to sitck you head in context of LITTERALLY everything Trump says to miosconstrue this as a second amendment article.

This!

When I registered on this forum, I wanted to have this picture as my avatar:


Trump is indeed pretty elusive. Like a Rorschach test, everyone sees what she or he wants to see.

I, for example, think that he is pro-choice, will introduce a background checks and so on, even if he is saying the opposite. I just can't help to believe that he's doing this to win the election, but has NY values and common sense Roll Eyes

And yeah, compard to Clinton... What the hell do we have to lose Cheesy

Uncanny Valley Dads aren't usually prime targets for assassination. You do realize that's the primary reason presidents and presidential candidates have armed Secret Service protection in the first place, right? Calling for them to be unarmed is a stupid strawman argument that only satisfies the mental faculties of cretins.

All spawned from a completely ridiculous strawman from Trump, where he assumed Clinton wants to take away everyone's guns (she doesn't), and that if average citizens can't carry a weapon (she never proposed they not be allowed), then she shouldn't be protected. I mean really, probable future POTUS shouldn't have armed police protection? That doesn't even make sense.

Given his past statements on this stuff, it's not hard to see how people got the impression they did.

You do realise that Trump is sort of master on "hyperbolic rhetoric" ?

BTW, none (besided may be David Duke Cheesy) thinks that the majority of illegal Mexicans are rapist and just some a good people.
