Did you watch the video?

He says (paraphrasing):

"Don't buy in to the scare tactics. You've all heard people say, 'you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands.' . . . Okay. When you pass away we'll come get it."

Now, if you want something to get riled up about just for the sake of getting riled up, you could convince yourself that he's advocating to kill gun owners to take their guns.

Or, you can disagree with his views while keeping your pitchfork away for a bit.

Fair enough, but I will ask again: What is your reaction to the joke Trump made about "2nd Amendment types" taking out Hillary?

I'm not saying you don't let the guy know you disagree with him. What I AM saying is that an article headline that says "NC Sheriff Candidate: Kill Gun Owners Who Won’t Give Up Their Guns" or a thread title that says "NC Sheriff candidate proposes killing gun owners" is a blatantly manipulative misrepresentation of what the guy said and is no better than the fake crap we see from the left.

Like UpToPar says, argue what he was clearly advocating (re: inherited guns) instead of taking the bait on something that just makes you look foolish and takes the attention away his real point.
