WATCH: Did Donald Trump just suggest somebody should shoot Hillary Clinton?

Wow.

Even by his standards, Donald Trump might have made the most outlandish statement of his political campaign to date at a rally in North Carolina on Tuesday. Speaking about Hillary Clinton’s plans in relation to gun control in the USA, Trump claimed that Clinton “essentially wants to abolish the second amendment (the right of people to keep and bear arms)”. Clinton has made clear her plans to introduce more common sense reforms in relation to gun control should she become President. Trump implied at the rally that should Clinton be allowed name Supreme Court justices that the second amendment would be abolished. “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” he said. “Although the second amendment people maybe there is I don’t know.” https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/763092098039939072 Trump may well claim that he was joking about what could be interpreted as a call to violence, but the comments caused shockwaves in the US, prompting Clinton to issue the following statement. https://twitter.com/hillaryclinton/status/763103518773436416 https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/763102282640613378 UPDATE: The Trump camp have responded to the furore surrounding his comments. Jason Miller, Senior Communications Advisor for the campaign, issued the following "statement on dishonest media". “It’s called the power of unification – 2^nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power. And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump.”
