What he means is to take them away from people that arent in the cult - that don't agree with, or look like, him and his followers. But eventually the leopard will eat your face too.

Oh sweet. Yeah only let whites have guns, I'm sure this will play out perfectly fine
This last weekend, during the — just prior to the start of the convention, with all the police everything else, do you know that so far, five people have been killed? You don’t read about it because the press doesn’t want to report about it. Five people have been killed in Chicago during the Democrat convention.
He can just make up whatever he likes and they don’t challenge him but what’s new.
Wait it’s not Obama taking the guns!?
The so-called "2A" brainlets support this. Since it is happening to people they hate, it is okay to infringe.
They know that the police aren't stopping and frisking THEM so I bet they'd be all for it.

I doubt Trump's followers will think of this as a breach of their 2A rights. They will likely think that it's black people and bad actors who will have their guns taken for the safety of the boys in blue.
Hey maybe this will make my wealthy white mother OK with the cops taking away her guns
The problem with this sort of thing is that I remember in the 2016 campaign how Trump would go on record saying Highly Objectionable Thing. You'd have the New York Times and such crow that now they've got him, print the statement. Trump wouldn't miss a beat, would just go and say something in complete conflict with the other thing. He didn't bother trying to reconcile the statements.
I don't think that that statement's going to do him any favors, but Trump has said a lot of things on the campaign trail that, if taken at face value, would probably kill his chances as a serious candidate. That didn't happen in the past. I'm skeptical that it will now.

Well trump, it was nice knowing ya (it wasn't) bit you'll never never ever ever ever be president again. Tell the average Americans that you'll take their guns away? You nuts? Tell right wing evangelical Christian redneck gun lover that you'll take their guns away? Are you suicidal?
Anyway, fuck Trump , happy to see him go
That statement is like a supercomputer ran LLMs and voter simulations for two weeks in order to find the one sentence most perfectly crafted to drive away the most American voters.
Edit to add: In reality yeah the gun taking and frisking are just a dog whistle for putting minorities back in their place, but I still thought the contrast was funny.
To talk about police as being honorable community service members and then Chicago in the same sentence is rather entertaining because that city has a very long history of dirty cops, and I think everyone knows it? That's kind of common knowledge.
Only if they….how should I put it…..don’t look good in spray tan!
He has said this before and everyone forgot. Wild that the Dem VP is an avid hunter that believes in 2nd amendment, just wants background checks, while the republican candidate wants to confiscate.
