A Nation Of Sheep, Afraid Of Words: Lies, Damn Lies, & Hillary Clinton Lies

I want to start this post off by taking a closer look at what Donald Trump actually said in his now infamous “2nd Amendment speech” yesterday. Here’s the part that generated all the controversy:
If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know. But — but I’ll tell you what. That will be a horrible day. If — if Hillary gets to put her judges — right now, we’re tied. You see what’s going on.
First of all, I agree that this is an incredibly stupid and dangerous thing for a Presidential candidate to say. So while I don’t think he should’ve said it, I also don’t think it’s the biggest deal in the world. Moreover, mainstream media and pundits across the land are unanimously interpreting it as a call for the assassination of Hillary Clinton. I didn’t read it that way at all.
For instance, he starts off his thought by creating a hypothetical scenario “if she gets to pick her judges.” So at that moment he seems to be thinking about a post-Clinton presidency; a time after which she has already picked the judges. If the judges are already in place, what would an assassination of Clinton accomplish? Absolutely nothing.
As such, I interpreted Trump’s subsequent words to reflect his opinion that “2nd Amendment people” might resort to armed resistance in the face of gun control measures implemented under a Hillary Clinton administration. While I don’t think this is a wise thing for him to publicly ponder, it’s not a remotely outlandish scenario. For example, should “assault weapons” be banned during a Clinton presidency, there remains that lingering issue of the millions upon millions of such weapons already in the public domain. Thus, if legislation is eventually passed to confiscate these weapons, I have no doubt that armed resistance to confiscation would be widespread. This isn’t a call to arms, it’s just stating what I believe to be an obvious fact.
