WILMINGTON, N.C. ･ Donald J. Trump on Tuesday appeared to raise the possibility that gun rights supporters could take matters into their own hands if Hillary Clinton is elected president and appoints judges who favor stricter gun control measures to the bench.
At a rally here, Mr. Trump warned that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people ･ maybe there is, I don’t know.”
The Trump campaign released a statement insisting opaquely that Mr. Trump had been referring to the “power of unification.”
“Second Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power,” said Mr. Trump’s spokesman, Jason Miller. “And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump.”
Mr. Trump’s remark came a day after his campaign expressed satisfaction with his delivery of a prepared economic speech in Detroit and called it evidence of a new level of discipline.
Reacting to Mr. Trump’s statement on Twitter, aides to Mrs. Clinton expressed immediate horror, suggesting that even by Mr. Trump’s standards, the comments were jarring.
“This is simple,” Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, said in an email. “What Trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way.”
Even those in Mr. Trump’s audience appeared caught by surprise. Video of the rally showed a man seated just over Mr. Trump’s shoulder go slack-jawed and turn to his companion, apparently in disbelief, when Mr. Trump made the remark.

Mr. Trump’s remark was reminiscent of an allusion to “Second Amendment remedies” by Sharron Angle, a Republican Senate candidate who in 2010 unsuccessfully challenged the majority leader, Harry Reid, in Nevada, and was derided by Democrats, and some in her own party, as too “extreme.”
In a radio interview that year, Ms. Angle talked about the importance of preserving the Second Amendment, not merely for members of the military or law enforcement.
“In fact, when you read that Constitution and the founding fathers, they intended this to stop tyranny,” Ms. Angle said, adding later, “It’s to defend ourselves. And you know, I’m hoping that we’re not getting to Second Amendment remedies. I hope the vote will be the cure for the Harry Reid problems.”
Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, who has made gun reform his signature issue after the Sandy Hook shooting in his state, took to Twitter to castigate Mr. Trump, calling his remarks “disgusting and embarrassing and sad.”
“This isn’t play,” Mr. Murphy wrote. “Unstable people with powerful guns and an unhinged hatred for Hillary are listening to you, @realDonaldTrump.”
And Representative Eric Swalwell, Democrat of California, wrote on Twitter that the Secret Service should investigate Mr. Trump for making a death threat against Mrs. Clinton: “Donald Trump suggested someone kill Sec. Clinton. We must take people at their word.”
Mr. Trump’s campaign events and rallies have grown increasingly vitriolic, with angry chants and jeers directed at Mrs. Clinton, some of them led by the candidate himself. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump called Mrs. Clinton a “liar” and “wacky.”
Chants of “lock her up,” which first gained traction during the Republican National Convention, were loud and frequent in Wilmington before Mr. Trump took the stage. One speaker, former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuli

　【ニューヨーク共同】９日付の米紙ニューヨーク・タイムズは、天皇陛下がビデオメッセージで生前退位への強い思いを示されたことについて「日本が戦後の平和主義と距離を置くかもしれない微妙な時期だ」と指摘する１面記事を掲載した。
　天皇が平和主義を掲げた戦後日本の象徴としての役割を果たす一方で、政治的影響力を持つ安倍政権は自衛隊の活動制限を緩めようとしていると指摘。生前退位が実現すれば「日本は過去を書き換え、教訓やタブーを放棄しようとする政権の動きを抑制できるのか」と疑問を呈した。

　【ワシントン共同】米共和党の穏健派として知られる東部メーン州選出のスーザン・コリンズ上院議員は９日付の米紙ワシントン・ポストに寄稿し、同党の次期大統領候補トランプ氏について「自制の効かない、無知な発言の数々が世界をより危険にする」として不支持を表明した。　イラクで戦死した米兵遺族との対立を契機に、トランプ氏に反発した共和党員の離反が相次いでいる。党内に一定の影響力を持つコリンズ氏の不支持表明はトランプ陣営にとって新たな打撃となりそうだ。　コリンズ氏は記事で、トランプ氏が「共和党の伝統的な価値観を共有せず、分断した国家を癒やすすべを持たない」と指摘した。

米大統領選：「反トランプ」　元高官５０人「投票しない」

　【ワシントン西田進一郎】米共和党の歴代政権を支えた外交・安全保障の元高官５０人は８日、同党大統領候補の実業家ドナルド・トランプ氏（７０）について「対外政策の観点から大統領、米軍最高司令官にふさわしくない」と批判し、大統領選ではトランプ氏に投票しないと宣言する共同声明を発表した。別の超党派の閣僚経験者ら３７人も４日にトランプ氏を批判する書簡を発表したばかり。トランプ氏は外交・安保政策で専門家から集中砲火を浴びている。

　声明には、国土安全保障長官を務めたリッジ、チャートフ両氏や、ネグロポンテ元国家情報長官、ヘイデン元中央情報局（ＣＩＡ）長官、ゼーリック元通商代表部（ＵＳＴＲ）代表らが署名した。知日派のグリーン元国家安全保障会議（ＮＳＣ）アジア上級部長も名を連ねた。

　声明は「トランプ氏は危険な大統領になり、米国の国家安全保障や幸福を危険にさらす」と断言。「自由社会の指導者としての米国の道徳的権威を弱めている」とし、米国の憲法や法律などの基本的な知識も欠いているようだと指摘した。さらに「米国にとり死活的に重要な国益や複雑な外交的課題、不可欠な同盟などを全く理解していない」とし、学ぼうともしていないと酷評した。

　また、民主党大統領候補のヒラリー・クリントン前国務長官についても「多くの人たちが疑わしいと思っているし、我々の多くもそうだ」と懸念を表明した。ただ、そのうえで「トランプ氏は、答えではない。彼は米国史上で最も無謀な大統領になる」と重ねて警告した。
