Remember that time Donald Trump said at a campaign rally that he would save the Second Amendment?
Somebody should make sure he knows which amendment that is.
Last week, Trump said that he wanted to prevent people on the terror watch list from obtaining weapons without any show of evidence, in direct contravention of the National Rifle Association position on guns.
This week, he’s now saying that didn’t really mean that clubgoers at Pulse should have had guns at all to protect themselves from terrorists. He just meant security should have been armed.
This is false. Here’s what Trump said last week:
"If we had people with bullets going the opposite direction right smack between the eyes of this maniac – if some of those wonderful people had guns strapped right here, right to their waist or right to their ankle, and this son of a bitch comes out and starts shooting – and one of the people in that room happened to have it and goes “boom, boom,” you know what, that would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight, folks. That would have been a beautiful, beautiful sight."
Now he’s tweeting:

When I said that if, within the Orlando club, you had some people with guns, I was obviously talking about additional guards or employees

No, he wasn’t, obviously.
But who cares? Reality morphs around Donald Trump to take on strange and fascinating new aspects! You thought he said something two days ago simply because he said it. But it wasn’t so. He never said it. And anyone who says he did say it is a hater and a loser.
Here’s the reality: sober people at Pulse should have had guns if they were able to carry by law. Trump could have said that. But he didn’t, because that would be intelligent. So instead he reversed himself. And he’ll reverse himself again when he hears about the blowback. But none of those will have been his real position until he declares it so.
