It was obviously a joke guys lol.

Even as a joke, this kind of thing is unacceptable.  There are too many nuts out there who will think it's a serious suggestion.

However, all of this would not be happening if Democrats don't stop talking about gun control. They're only putting themselves in trouble by making this a big issue, year after year. Yes, we need background checks, but stop demonizing gun owners and guns, and stop making it a major issue. Let the states handle these issues.

I can't tell if this is trolling or not.

It's not. It's a reaction to what people say. Trump is obviously crazy, but when you have people talking about changing gun rules and legislation, what do you expect. You don't expect tensions to rise? You have a professor writing on the Rolling Stone magazine about repealing the Second Amendment and you don't expect some type of disagreement? The Second Amendment should not be repealed. This is not Europe, this is not Canada. We have to protect ourselves and if you want to be a disarmed person with no security, be my guest, but you have to have protection.

President Obama wasted the beginning of his second term on gun control and failed. If he had spent time talking about background checks instead of demonizing gun owners, this issue of gun control would not be so heated up. The NRA is probably too powerful to defeat in this sense. Leave the Second Amendment alone. And no, I'm not a fan of Trump. Yes, he's tough, he's macho, has the swag, but he needs to tone it down, but Democrats need to leave the Second Amendment alone.

Hold on there.  Trump is the one trying to inflame on this issue.  He continues to push the idea that Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment.  She has never done so and the campaign has strongly denied this.  Politifact has rated Trump's claim as False (see http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/may/11/donald-trump/donald-trump-falsely-claims-hillary-clinton-wants-/), but that hasn't stopped him from continuing to make it.
