That’s what is most disturbing about Trump’s remarks — how they could be understood by his followers. “That’s why the Second Amendment was created, so we can defend ourselves against a tyrannical government,” one Trump supporter said.

That too is nonsense. As historians have pointed out, the Constitution’s framers were influenced by Shays’s Rebellion, which took place in Massachusetts a few months before the constitutional convention, when they assigned Congress authority to put down rebellions. Historians argue that the framers did not intend for the Constitution to protect a “popular right to insurrection.” Of course, some Americans believe such a right exists.

Trump’s words must be understood in this context. When Trump speaks of “Second Amendment people” moving to stop Hillary Clinton after the election, he may not be shouting “fire,” but he certainly is playing with it.

The Daily News in New York is a tabloid unworthy even for butt wiping.
