Trump wasn't talking about rallying 2nd amendment votes. He meant assassinating Hillary as President

CNN just had a panel on were one of the commentators made an interesting point. Trump said "once she picked her supreme court judges there was nothing folks could do, except 2nd amendment folks." Well she would already be president in order to pick a justice for the supreme court. So their spin about his comments being a call for 2nd amendment folks to get out and vote doesn't jive.

Don't let him get away with it. It was intentional. He knows what it means. He'll play innocent... NurseJackie Aug 2016 #2

He wasn't talking about stopping her from getting elected by mobilizing the vote. He was talking about killing her after she was elected.

... and try to make you believe he meant something different, but don't believe it.

We don't have to meet court-of-law prosecutorial standards before we can condemn and call-out behavior like that. We know EXACTLY what he meant! It was an inflammatory lie, followed by a call-to-action for his supporters.

IT WAS A THREAT!!

His denying what he meant by that is along the lines of someone denying that "see you next Tuesday" doesn't mean anything vulgar and misogynistic either.
