Donald Trump, presumptive GOP nominee, told a crowd of his supporters on Saturday that Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton wanted to “abolish” the Second Amendment.

“Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to abolish it,” Trump said at a rally in Washington, reported The Hill. “Hillary Clinton wants to take your guns away, and she wants to abolish the Second Amendment. She wants to take the bullets away.”

Trump paved his way to the nomination last week after sweeping in the Indiana primary.

“We’re going to cherish the Second Amendment,” Trump said. “We’re going to take care of the Second Amendment.”

  1. There are no guns or bullets or access to them since Obama already took them away. Just ask anyone in the crowd how many guns they still have at home, or in their handbags, or in their backpacks, or under the seat of the car, or in the jacket hanging in the hallway. You’ll see. There are none.

  2. OK, Rump’s whole campaign has turned into one LOOOOOONG troll.

  3. Something we have heard from every single REPUG going back to at least St RayGun…

  4. There is no constitutional process that allows a president to “abolish” an amendment,its impossible. But his dumb ass supporters probably don’t know that. Maybe Trump does not either.

  5. No need to get desperate this early in the campaign, Donald. Still 5 months to desperation time… when the polls show you down by 20.
