Donald Trump has advocated shooting Hillary Clinton because she may amend the second act if voted in.
In a week when the outspoken billionaire was lambasted for eating a KFC with cutlery on his campaign jet, the ridiculous turned to the outright bizarre following a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina.
The Republican candidate warned that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said. Adding: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”
The second amendment, which gives Americans the right to keep and bear Arms, is among the most divisive laws in America. It is thought that if Clinton were to be elected she would appoint supreme court justices in favour of tightening gun laws.
But not all Trump supporters were phased by the assertion that “the Second Amendment people” could “do something about it”. One CNN reporter said he should not be held responsible because he is “inarticulate at times”.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
