Trump sparks uproar by saying gun rights backers can stop Clinton from naming judges
Donald Trump told supporters in North Carolina on Tuesday that there might be something supporters of gun rights could do to stop Hillary Clinton from naming Supreme Court justices, prompting many to charge that he was suggesting his rival could be shot.
"Hillary wants to abolish � essentially abolish the Second Amendment," Trump told the crowd in Wilmington, N.C. "By the way � and if she gets to pick � if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know."
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook released a statement saying: "This is simple _ what Trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be the President of the United States should not suggest violence in any way."
Jason Miller, Trump's senior media advisor, insisted that Trump was referring only to political action by gun-rights supporters, and he assailed media coverage of the remark, releasing what he called a "statement on dishonest media" after the rally.
