Trump backer tells C-SPAN: Second Amendment remark means brace for armed revolt, not assassination
A C-SPAN caller from Michigan proved on Wednesday that even Trump supporters could interpret the GOP nominees comments about using the Second Amendment to stop Hillary as a call to gun violence.

But a C-SPAN caller from Michigan named Greg proved on Wednesday that even some of Trumps supporters found the comments to be a call to arms.
Number one, Mr. Trump was not threatening assassination of Hillary, Greg said. But what he was implying and could happen is if Hillary got her way and did do away with Second Amendment rights, there are a lot of us who are gun owners who are going to object to that very strongly.
And since we do have firearms, it might if it comes down to it be us having to defend our rights with those guns, just as the revolutionaries did in the Revolutionary War.

they STILL think Obama is going to take their guns sometime before January, especially if trump somehow wins
do they take into consideration the fact that he did NOTHING to try take away their guns? the mere idea that he wants to do RESEARCH into the effects of gun violence (shelved by congress) is enough to send them skittering into their bunkers, and counting their ammo and MREs
they are delusional beyond words
