Trump hints that Clinton should be assassinated!

[justabubba]

People are fed up with PC - when the Left try to wield it as a sword to pounce on anything someone says, they only help to remind the public of how the Left-wing Thought Police seek to own every thought, on penalty of declaring it a Thought Crime.

Yeah, people going to the doctor...the horror! :roll:

Yep, that's the issue, "people going to the doctor." At least now I know your level of understanding, thanks.

I don't know what that means. The vote in Heller eight years ago was five to four. Change just one justice on the Court, and it could easily overrule Heller by adopting the view Justice Stevens took in his dissenting opinion.

And what practical effect will "overruling Heller" actually have?

With Heller, the federal government can still do the following:

• Require universal background checks on the federal level
• Require states and municipalities to report to NICS
• Regulate concealed carry
• Bar mentally ill people from purchasing or possessing firearms
• Bar convicted felons from purchasing or possessing firearms
• Ban specific types of firearms, such as assault rifles or sawed-off shotguns
• Bar firearms in schools, courtrooms, and other "sensitive locations"

Heller fully recognized that governments were empowered to regulate firearms, and individual rights are certainly not held to be absolute.

In fact, since Heller passed, numerous gun laws have faced court challenges -- and survived.

Seems like the impact of Heller is overstated -- is the abject terror that the Supreme Court could "overturn the 2nd Amendment."

It's OK, in a few hours he'll come back and deny even saying the words 2nd amendment.

Well did he?

Okay let's say we have five gun-hating liberals on the Supreme Court. Okay then State A passes a law that bans ALL firearms, and it goes to court and snakes its way to the Supreme Court. Then what? How will they rule, if they hear it?

 

[poweRob]

I have no idea. You need to ask the Clinton supporters. But at least she isn't stupid enough to do and say what Trump does. She's so much smarter than he is that in spite of her being the worst candidate the Democrats have ever nominated, she's still beating him and still is running a better campaign.

She's simply pulling a Napoleon... and it's a smart move at this point.

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." - Napoleon Bonaparte​

It's an easy campaign when all you have to do is lay low. And with as much as she is disliked, it's the perfect thing to do.

That's the NRA's job. Create panic and fear so the gun industry makes more profits. There's one born every day. Capitalism at it's finest.

Ain't nobody coming for anybody's gun. But hey, if it helps the people working on the assembly line down at Smith & Wesson feed their families, what not take the fool's money?

this was a GREAT post
but one i believe would be better accepted by certain people - they know who they are - if it was read with an appropriate accompanying soundtrack

 

[Anthony60]

What is it with this fantasy about wanting to fight some oppressive American government that doesn't exist...

No, the fight is to keep it from existing. Pay attention.

I really want to know how you people see this coming about. Obama didn't take your guns.

Oh, but he tried didn't he? Every time there was a shooting, he was up there lecturing us about it, and saying we needed tough laws, and comparing us to counties that don't allow guns. Hmmm... what do you think he wanted there? But he didn't have the backing of the Supreme Court. What would happen if he did?

Yet now you support the closest thing to a tyrant that's existed in possibly the entire history of the U.S. It's so weird.

A bit of a stretch there, huh? LOL! Oh, not that Hillary though, right? She is all about protecting our Constitutional rights and personal freedom, isn't she?

Trump made a quip - you're trying to portray it as a real death threat - Libs are asking the Secret Service to investigate - seriously?
As if the Secret Service don't already have enough to do, without being sent on goose chases by Hillary's partisans.

the five stages of grief:

denial

anger

bargaining

depression

acceptance

and the tRump supporters have finally arrived the final level, acceptance

You are seeing things that aren't there.

As stated, I've not emotionally invested in any of this from the beginning, so there was / is no need for going through any sort of grief process that you are imaging me going through. Sorry there Bubba.

Since it was not clear in my post:

I have no doubt whatsoever that a comprehensive ban on firearms would NOT survive a court challenge. Not with 5 "liberals" (a poor description of their positions, but whatever), or 7, or 9 on the court.

The legal reasoning involved might be different; e.g. they'd invoke the role of militias, instead of asserting an individual right. But they would rule it unconstitutional.

The only way for a comprehensive ban on firearms to survive a court challenge would be to first pass an amendment revoking the 2nd Amendment, and that is not going to happen during either of our lifetimes.

 

[eohrnberger]

Whoops!

Hey Goofs, never was in any need of any of these steps to begin with.

It's really simple for me.

Hillary wins, the country is screwed for the next 30 years, with the SCOTUS justices she'll pick.
Anyone else but Hillary wins, the country may at least have a chance to survive.

Yup. It's that simple.

I find it odd that lots of news reports and video clips cut this part off.

It seems pretty damn relevant and makes the quote even clearer.

it becomes even less murky when the complete statement is known:

... that will be a horrible day, if -- if -- Hillary gets to put her judges in

indicating that the horribleness would be hillary being in office to nominate justices, and not that would be a horrible day that hillary was targeted

so, yes, there is some suspicious editing going on

Clearly Trump was talking about single issue voters voting...man, liberals sure are gullible for the left wing media narrative

Thomas Friedman has a opinion.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin got assassinated.

His right-wing opponents just kept delegitimizing him as a “traitor” and “a Nazi” for wanting to make peace with the Palestinians and give back part of the Land of Israel. Of course, all is fair in politics, right? And they had God on their side, right? They weren’t actually telling anyone to assassinate Rabin. That would be horrible.

But there are always people down the line who don’t hear the caveats. They just hear the big message: The man is illegitimate, the man is a threat to the nation, the man is the equivalent of a Nazi war criminal. Well, you know what we do with people like that, don’t you? We kill them.

And that’s what the Jewish extremist Yigal Amir did to Rabin. Why not? He thought he had permission from a whole segment of Israel’s political class.

Maybe you should use the "Super Liberty" ax to justify it.

Yep, that's the issue, "people going to the doctor." At least now I know your level of understanding, thanks.

The issue is that health insurance mandates are not an example of tyranny. But, of course, you cannot admit that because doing so takes away your poutrage.

Really? Then why would it be “a horrible day”, as he put it, after it happened? I mean, if it were about rallying single issue voters to vote then it would be a good day, no?

Zomg... so few words, so much wrong.

1) You know you're a dogmatist when.... the first thing you reach for is the Slippery Slope Argument.

2) Clinton doesn't want to take away your guns, or abolish the 2nd Amendment, or any of that bull****.

Donald Trump falsely claims Hillary Clinton 'wants to abolish the 2nd Amendment' | PolitiFact

Despite new adverb, Trump's claim about Clinton wanting to 'abolish' 2nd Amendment is still False | PolitiFact

3) Let's get real, the megalomaniacal narcissistic authoritarian in the room is Trump, not Clinton. Do we really need to review the Mussolini quotes, or the admiration for dictators again...?

No, the fight is to keep it from existing. Pay attention.

So then I should put up a Tiger proof fence around my yard in case a Tiger gets near it because while the nearest Tiger is in a zoo about 50 miles from where I live, it is not impossible for it to escape, somehow make its way out here, and attack me in my house. Sure it's an absurd possibility, but it's a possibility nonetheless, and it would serve the dual purpose of keeping out bears, lions, and crocodiles.

Oh, but he tried didn't he? Every time there was a shooting, he was up there lecturing us about it, and saying we needed tough laws, and comparing us to counties that don't allow guns. Hmmm... what do you think he wanted there? But he didn't have the backing of the Supreme Court. What would happen if he did?

He tried? He never introduced a single piece of legislation. He urged people to write their congressmen and take other action, yes. But strangely enough, there are those of us who think that 20 murdered kindergartners is a less than desirable outcome in our society. But you need a false sense of security from a thing that's never going to happen though, so dead kids must be worth it.

A bit of a stretch there, huh? LOL! Oh, not that Hillary though, right? She is all about protecting our Constitutional rights and personal freedom, isn't she?

Please provide a reasonable (see: not whacky right wing conspiracy theory) explanation of how Hillary is going to be a tyrant.
