At a campaign stop on Tuesday, Donald Trump seemed to jokingly suggest that Americans would be justified in assassinating Hillary Clinton should she become president and try to get rid of gun rights. “Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment,” Trump told the crowd in Wilmington, N.C. “By the way, and if she gets to pick — if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”RelatedClinton’s campaign manager immediately denounced Trump’s remarks, saying that the Republican nominee was trying to incite violence. “It’s called the power of unification — Second Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power,” Senior Communications Advisor Jason Miller said in a statement to Time magazine.
