‘Second Amendment people’ might stop Clinton from picking judges

During the event, he said falsely that Clinton “essentially wants to abolish the Second Amendment”.

“By the way if [Hillary Clinton] gets the pick – if she gets to pick her judges, there’s nothing you can do folks”, Trump said.

General Michael Hayden says if any ordinary person mad the comments Donald Trump made Tuesday afternoon they would be investigated by the Secret Service.

The Clinton campaign responded with a statement, with campaign manager Robby Mook saying: “This is simple – what Trump is saying is unsafe”.

He said: “Second amendment people have awesome spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power”.

Donald Trump on Tuesday seemed to imply that people with guns could stop Hillary Clinton as president from appointing anti-gun judges.

Donald Trump has gone too far by hinting at violence against Hillary Clinton. If @HillaryClinton gets to pick her anti-#2A #SCOTUS judges, there’s nothing we can do.

Mr Trump’s remarks come after eight days of negative headlines, controversial remarks and some leading Republicans saying they can not vote for him in November’s presidential election. “Second amendment remedies” is a phrase used by some gun-rights advocates to describe violent action against a tyrannical government.

Jason Miller, a communications adviser for the Trump campaign, quickly attempted to explain the billionaire’s comments.

“I’ll tell you the first thing we need to do is take [Democrat Senator] Harry Reid out”. On Tuesday, Mr Hayden said on CNN he was startled by Mr Trump’s latest comment. “We also know that unification is key”, and that Second Amendment supporters need to come together to vote in November.

Encouraging violence against the Democratic nominee is not new for some supporters and surrogates of the Trump campaign.

Later in the speech, Trump took aim at Clinton’s remarks that she “short-circuited” earlier this week while being interviewed about her email investigation.

Robby Mook says: “This is simple – what Trump is saying is risky”.

Donald Trump suggested that proud gun owners could take matters into their own hands if anyone chose to abolish the Second Amendment.

Matt Angle, director of the Democratic advocacy group Lone Star Project, called for Texas Republicans to decide which matters more – the values of Texas or Trump.
