It was a probably a joke, he shouldn't say that, but then again, this is a free country and you cannot censor free speech. Hey, on the left, you have SJWs saying some vicious things towards white conservatives, and even black conservatives who don't think like the BLM crew. Trump needs to tone down the nonsense.

Except you absolutely can censor speech. It's why it is illegal to say bomb on an airplane or fire in a theater. Something that misrepresents a clear and present danger is absolutely illegal. Hate speech is illegal. This is borderline, but only because it is technically "political speech" and the least regulated of all types of speech.

The level of faux outrage in this thread is similar to the ones in this thread. Go back to your safe spaces, people.

We have had four Presidents killed by assassins in this country's history. We have had several others who had attempts against there lives. We have had assassinations and assassination attempts against many presidential candidates over the years. Don't you dare suggest this is anything other than playing with fire, especially in a political climate as charged as it has been in decades. I am not feigning this outrage. I AM outraged because THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

I think you need more bold text.

I think you need to stop defending every single thing your God-Emperor does.
Okay, I should make it clear that I'm not saying saying that this was a smart thing to say. I honestly don't know exactly what he meant by this, but either way, it is a stupid thing to say on the campaign trail. To me, talking about exercising the Second Amendment implies taking up arms as a last resort against tyranny. I did not interpret his comments as being a call to kill another individual, but I understand that some people may have different reactions when they hear the words "Second Amendment".

I just don't think that, whether it was a stupid pro-2A argument or an even dumber joke, it warrants the WORST PERSON EVER outrage in this thread.

Dude. You know what he was saying. Don't be obtuse.
