“Your glib and horrifying comment about ‘Second Amendment people’ was heard around the world,” Patti Davis wrote late Wednesday in a Facebook post addressed to Trump.

Davis said the GOP presidential nominee did not consider the consequences of his words.

“It was heard by sane and decent people who shudder at your fondness for verbal violence,” she said. "It was heard by your supporters, many of whom gleefully and angrily yell, ‘lock her up!’ at your rallies. It was heard by the person sitting alone in a room, locked in his own dark fantasies, who sees unbridled violence as a way to make his mark in the world, and is just looking for ideas.”

Davis, a longtime liberal who at times disagreed with Reagan, said Trump’s remarks offended her.

“I am the daughter of a man who was shot by someone who got his inspiration from a movie, someone who believed if he killed the president the actress from that movie would notice him,” she said.

“Yes, Mr. Trump, words matter. But then you know that, which makes this all even more horrifying.”

John Hinckley Jr., obsessed with actress Jodie Foster, shot Reagan outside of the Washington Hilton hotel in 1981 and wounded several others. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled late last month that Hinckley could be released from a mental hospital after 35 years.

Trump seemingly joked on Tuesday about gun owners taking action against Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, to stop her from selecting Supreme Court justices.

“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment,” he said during a rally in Wilmington, N.C.

“By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” Trump added of the Democratic presidential nominee. "Though the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know."
