Second Amendment Comment
This page indicates that Trump's statement that Clinton wanted to abolish the second amendment is 'factually false'. While it was not strictly true, people are removing my comment that many people consider it to bear a degree of accuracy. Clinton expressed opposition to modern supreme court second amendment jurisprudence, which has thus far only affirmed mainstream understanding that the second amendment protects an individual right to firearm ownership. Overturning those decisions would indeed in effect 'abolish' the meaning of the amendment. Again, Clinton never expressly desired to repeal the amendment, but to say that such notion is false without any context is misleading to this page's readers. Reputable sources, (National Review, Federalist), have stood by the comment.
I'm sorry but the Federalist and National Review are not reputable sources for non-biased journalism. The question is did Hillary Clinton really advocate for abolishing the second amendment (and therefore abolishing gun rights)? Facts tell us the answer is a resounding no. Clinton did advocate for moderate gun reform, but not restricting gun rights as a general topic.

Shift focus to neutrality
Requester suggests the article author used bias. Critic, criticism or criticized words are used 92 times. Suggests a shift of focus from opinion to fact, with less speech quotes, which will be more appropriate for an encyclopedia.
