Just last month, Donald Trump proposed that Second Amendment people could thwart Hillary Clinton if she were to become president. But evidently he doesnt want to wait until he's already lost, because now hes suggesting a new remedy:
She's very much against the Second Amendment. She wants to destroy your Second Amendment. Guns, guns, guns, right? I think what we should do isshe goes around with armed bodyguards like you have never seen before. I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons. They should disarm. Right? Right? I think they should disarmimmediately. What do you think? Yes? Yes. Yeah. Take their guns away! She doesn't want guns. Take theirlet's see what happens to her.
This kind of eliminationist rhetoric is at once terrifying and destructive. Its the same kind of call to stochastic terrorism thats inspired killers to murder abortion providers and drove Yigal Amir to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabinall the while allowing those blowing on that whistle to disclaim all responsibility.
But make no mistake about it: Trump is calling for violence to be perpetrated against his political opponent. This kind of talk is beyond unacceptable, and Trump should be drummed out of public life altogether. That wont happen, though, and the Republican Party will have to live with this shameful stain forever.
And god forbid something should happen, thatll be 100 percent on Donald Trump.

Trump is doing it in broad daylight, with everybody watching.
He needs to be arrested and jailed for antics like this.

Crooked Hillary wants to take your 2nd Amendment rights away. Will guns be taken from her heavily armed Secret Service detail? Maybe not!
