Sadly, I doubt it.
This is going to be the first chapter in a book about several assassination attempts during his reign of terror, at least if it turns out the way I expect it to.
They're going to ramp security way up. I wouldn't be surprised if the left finally gets their way with gun bans as a result of this. Right before a fascist takeover.
It could happen.
Historically in the US assassination attempts are pretty much the only thing that moves the needle on gun control.
It would stop being "gun control" and start being "disarming the opposition" -- i.e., the precursor to a purge.
It could happen, but in this country, I doubt it. If it happens in this country it will be like getting an abortion or voting: put up too many arbitrary, inconvenient hurdles and people just won't exercise the right to begin with.
We're been over this: yes, it can happen here.
Oh I believe it.
But when our people couldn't stay at home in total comfort for three weeks without clamoring for a hair cut, you've got to count me a little skeptical that they'll have the patience for war after they encounter their first empty grocery store, not to mention the thousands of missile-equipped drones that their AR-15's are insufficient to destroy.
Germans at least had an understanding of war. Americans do not, and that is why it's unlikely to happen here, at least that's my thoughts on the matter.
So don't give them your guns make them take em by force and defend your property and self.
I bet he will be boxed bulletproof glass, just like he was in his January 6th speech from here on out.
He's not going to be in a hamster ball. He'll be out in the open sometimes.
I hope there's not too many attempts lol
Trump is not going to put himself in a position to be shot again, so if someone wants to try another time, they have to be able to get within a few feet of him or risk the black market to acquire other means of trying to achieve their goal.
I think there'll be other attempts, but I don't see it happening. It's a shame all that McDonald's hasn't worked to seal up his arteries.
