May he rest in peace and I hope for a fast and full recovery for the other two injured people. The last I heard both are still critical?

But the elite establishment hate him, and will resort /have tried everything to get rid of him. An assassination attempt is not exactly unexpected, and of course the perpetrator was killed so no way of proving who he was working for, or whether he was working alone. We are living in very strange times... Trump has always been part of the "elite establishment". You only have to look at who the big donors to his campaigns and who fund his advisers like the Heritage Foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_DADDY Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 This picture is causing a bit of a stir. Trump allegedly shouted Fight, Fight, Fight which is apparently a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I'm sorry for the person who died, and the injured hope they make a recovery. You could see the defiance in Trunp as he was taken to his car, waving his arm in the air, and I think shouting I'm OK. Did the murderer think he was going to stop democracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most gun incidents are with illegal firearms so greater gun control wouldn't help a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altus Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Just now, RollingJ said: I would have thought every firearms related incident should be a wake-up call for greater control? It is, but the Republicans always block any attempt to implement increased control. Clinton introduced a ban on the public owning automatic weapons, the Republicans repealed it and have prevented its reintroduction. There were many shorts fired at Trump in a very short period so the shooter was obviously using an automatic weapon. Had that ban still been in place, what would have happened yesterday?
