He paused. Someone in the crowd shouts "2nd Amendment!"
Trump continues:
"Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."
Forget the dog whistles -- kill Clinton is the clear message.
The MSM has reported that several contacts were made by the Secret Service to either Trump personally or his staff over the comments. So, apparently the SS took it seriously or as potentially serious. He may well have meant only the political power of NRA People, but I'm quite sure there are some who took it quite literally as 'using their guns' to 'deal with' Clinton; so how he really meant it hardly matters - it was to some of his admirers an incitement to violence. Between now and the election I'm quite sure he will come up with even greater 'bloopers'. The man is just brain dead as far as political savvy goes - and that is what most of his admirers love about him...he is just like them.
But Trump says No. Didn't happen.

The latest from yesterday...who are you going to believe?....and maybe the term 'formally' is the key word..but who knows.

A federal official on Wednesday said the U.S. Secret Service had not formally spoken with Republican Donald Trump's presidential campaign regarding his suggestion a day earlier that gun rights activists could stop Democratic rival Hillary Clinton from curtailing their access to firearms.
Following Trump's comment at a rally on Tuesday in which he suggested that gun rights activists could stop Clinton from appointing liberal anti-gun justices to the U.S. Supreme Court, a federal official familiar with the matter told Reuters that there had been no formal conversations between the Secret Service and the Trump campaign.
Earlier CNN had reported that there had been multiple conversations between the campaign and the agency.
"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks," Trump told a North Carolina campaign rally on Tuesday. "Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know," he added, leading some critics to believe Trump was referring to gun violence against his rival.
The controversy came as the campaign tried to stay on message after a contentious previous week. Trump weathered criticism within his own party for delaying endorsements of fellow Republicans and for a prolonged clash with the family of a fallen Muslim American U.S. Army captain.
