Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) has been reported to Secret Service after he was caught on tape this week joking that gun owners should think about shooting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

In an audio tape obtained by CNN, Burr said that “nothing made me feel better” than seeing Clinton’s picture on the front of a rifle magazine during a recent visit to a gun shop.

“I was a little bit shocked at that — it didn’t have a bullseye on it,” he quipped to supporters.

Burr later apologized and acknowledged that the remarks were “inappropriate.”

The group Democratic Coalition Against Trump on Monday asked the Secret Service to take the threat seriously.

1. Rec, wholeheartedly, n T.

2. Similar to Trump's "second amendment solutions."

4. He's hardly the first to say that...

although he might be the most 'senior' Repub to offer it up to his raving minions.

3. Apologize all you want, asshole. Everyone knows

you did it on purpose and once you put the thought in one of your crazy follower's heads and he tries something, you can always say "I NEVER thought anyone would take me seriously." Fuck you, fucker.

5. He said it was inappropriate, what more could you want?

Jeez, you're not going to bring up Gabby Giffords again, are you? It was just a joke! You know, like when Ronnie said he wanted to start dropping nukes on Russia in five minutes. Kidding around. Locker room banter. You act like there's a bevy of armed crazies out there just waiting for something that sounds like permission.

6. Every now and then ReTHUGs let America now

what they're really thinking - 'deplorables' best describes them.

7. About as effective as

"The jury will disregard the last statement". He knew what he was saying.

8. Burr has had his wife on doing commercials for him here in NC and I was struck

by how much her mouth was puckered so much that it really, literally, appears to be an a$$hole.

Honestly, I am not kidding. I've never seen anyone with a mouth that immediately made me think the person was talking out of an a$$hole. But she sure did.

9. His seat is within our reach. Hopefully he is out soon. n/t
