...take anyone seriously trying to downplay Trump's "joke"....Because this is all par-for-the-course with the man....

Remember, this is the same dude who literally lamented that in the old days people were allowed to punch out protesters at campaign rallies.....Trump's events have been marred by violence and ugly vitriol....When you have folks screaming LOCK HER UP; when u set the table that any win by your opponent is rigged and therefore invalid (peep video of a recent rally...There are some blood thirsty folks in that audience: http://www.nationalmemo.com/246794-2/), it's not at all a stretch to imagine some nutcase taking it to the next level....

With the history of assassinations in this country, this is a 3rd rail subject a figure running for President should never even bring up, especially in today's heavily polarizing political climate....And Trump was making his "quip" under the dishonest guise that Clinton is dead set on banning the 2nd amendment...This is grave, dangerous talk....
