'The Second Amendment People -- Maybe there is, I don't Know'

   I wonder if we shouldn't be just as rough on ourselves as we are on Donald Trump, in regards to his comment on how the Second Amendment people could do something about Hillary Clinton and the judges she might appoint to the Supreme Court.
   "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks," he said, then added, "Although the Second Amendment people -- maybe there is, I don't know."
   We could dismiss Trump's comment as just a phrase he didn't really mean. Don't people often say things like, "I'm going to kill you," totally in jest? Such comments, depending, can be absolutely meaningless. No harm intended, none invoked, none incited. But, other times, such comments come with some seriousness. Sometimes, you catch a person using such a phrase meaning it, somewhat. Although you know they aren't going to actually go out and shoot the person they are threatening, they sometimes say they truly wish that person would die.
   Therein lies a comment of harm.
   Such comments plant seeds, both in the heart of the person uttering them, and in the heads of some who overhear them. They influence us for evil.
   So, such comments range from being not harmful at all, to being seeds of great harm. I do think we overuse such language, and for the most part, would be better off not using it.
