Hillary Clinton would like a word On August 9, 2016

Repeating his contention that Mrs. Clinton wanted to abolish the right to bear arms, Mr. Trump warned at a rally here 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, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

Last September the former President was peeved that Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley had taken a call from Mainland China and assured that nation that it was in danger of imminent attack. he He characterized Milley's behavior as "an act so egregious that in times gone by, the punishment would be death!" However, Trump usually does not recommend assassination, although

CREW analyzed over 13,000 of Trump’s Truth Social posts from January 1, 2023 to April 1, 2024, and found that while Trump has recently backed off some of his more violent rhetoric, threatening political opponents has been a consistent fixation for Trump. Since the start of last year, Trump has issued direct or implied threats on Truth Social to use the powers of the federal government to target Joe Biden during a second Trump administration 25 times. Specifically, Trump has threatened him with FBI raids, investigations, indictments and even jail time.

But Biden is not Trump’s only target. He’s also threatened or suggested that the FBI and the Department of Justice should take action against senators, judges, members of Biden’s family and even non-governmental organizations.

This doesn't faze Piers Morgan, though he himself isn't "guilty" of much of anything. However, Cenk Uygur, while blowing his top, nevertheless raised a forgotten point. He stated "I'm asking you a question. Do you not consider for a moment that within forty-eight hours you're still saying 'monster, dictator, blah, blah, blah?'" A moment later, he referred to the "shooter at the golf course, specifically in his social media post, parroting Kamala Harris saying essentially that he was an existential threat to demoracy in America. You're doing the same . Does nothing make you pause?

Notwithstanding blowing his top, Cenk rationally explained

Trump does it two thousand times worse... Your great idea is Democrats shouldn't campaign against Donald Trump because some moron, mentally unstable guy, took a shot at him- one or two them did. You know what? I can protect Donald Trump- ban assault weapons. That'll protect Donald Trump wa more than any of, oh, say nice nice things about him now that some lunatic took some shots at him.

Here, let me be super clear: if you're on the left- I know the right-wingers love their guns, Second Amendment remedy, it's what they've been riled up to do, violence nonstop. But if you're on the left and you do any violence, you're not one of us. You're a stupid person who does nothing but make a worthy cause look immoral with your insanity.

Twice someone tries to kill their hero and conservatives still won't acknowledge the need for gun safety, let alone gun safety legislation.

It seems it's not only conservatives, though. During the presidential debate in Philadelphia, Kamala Harris was asked about her support for "a government-run health care system" in 2017 and two years proposal in 2018 for a plan including a private insurance option." Before pivoting to the Affordable Care Act she considers a panacea, she slammed "this business about taking everyone's guns away. Tim Walz and I are both gun owners. We're not taking anybody's guns away."

Reversing her position in favor of a mandatory assault weapon buyback program is sensible and believable. But, oh please:

In the span of 4 years, Kamala has gone from campaigning on gun confiscation to telling Oprah “if someone breaks into my house, they gettin’ SHOT”

This just shows how strongly the American people reject Kamala’s radicalism

Five years ago, as a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, Harris favored mandatory assault weapons buyback, tantamount to confiscation. 

 

Today, the presidential nominee is promoting herself for the Charles Bronson role if there is any remake of Death Wish. Fortunately, she probably still supports some form of gun safety legislation. Unfortunately, it's likely that it's nothing to which she is committed, especially compared to Cenk Uygur. However, her electoral opponent is Donald Trump who, even after two attempts on his life, is still firmly in support of guns in the hands of dangerous individuals. As on other things, it's a very bad choice but still an easy one.
