Although the Second Amendment, people.

Clinton supporters immediately seized on Trump’s remarks to warn that Trump had crossed a grave line in political discourse.
“I’m not here to repeal the Second Amendment”, she said in her Democratic National Convention speech.
Nick Merrill, a Clinton spokesman, told news outlets Tuesday that Mrs. Clinton disagrees with Seddique Mateen’s views and disavows his support.
Catherine Milhoan, a spokeswoman for the Secret Service, said, “We are aware of his comments”.
Clinton, on a trip through the crucial swing state, opened her speech with a tribute to the 49 people who lost their lives in Orlando. Clinton supports some new restrictions on gun ownership, but has not advocated overturning the amendment. Yet, that’s beside the point. It’s not amusing. And yes, it could land you in serious trouble.
Mateen said that Clinton would be “good for United States” and held up a large yellow banner that touted Clinton’s achievements, including “gun control laws”. They ranged from some who saw it as an innocuous call for gun owners to organize politically, to others who saw it as a joke about insurrection, to those who saw it as a crack about political assassination. By the recent polls, the man needs to concentrate and get back on message to avoid slaughter come November.
What are we talking about, here?
Democratic rival Hillary Clinton has dismissed Trump’s plan as offering “super big tax breaks” to huge companies and rich people.
According to reports, the Florida arm of the Democratic National Committee invited Seddique Mateen to Monday’s Clinton rally in Kissimmee, an offer he accepted and which placed him four rows behind the candidate.
Clinton’s opponent, Republican nominee Donald Trump, blamed the June 12 massacre on America’s “immigration system” which he claims is too lax, ignoring that the shooter, Omar Mateen, was born in NY and was an American citizen.
Clinton’s camp quickly responded with an official statement released on Twitter. The former first lady is executing a two-day swing in the Sunshine State, where she’s dogged questions about Mateen being at her rally. Now the Justices are going to do things that are so important and we have such great Justices, you saw my list of 11 that have been vetted and respected.
Now, she says, she isn’t sure how she’ll vote.
“What what you see is what we would get, and he would make what is already a perilous world even more unsafe given his tendency to lash out”, Collins wrote.

Garry Kasparov, an anti-Putin activist, isn’t too amused either.
