If our kids can't go to school without the fear of gun violence, why would anyone expect that our political candidates should fare any better? When the rhetoric behind the 2nd amendment shifted from protecting people who just wanted to own firearms to protect their families, go hunting or target shooting to owning firearms as a means of taking up arms against a tyrannical government, we set ourselves on this path of school shooting, political violence and assassination attempts. The 2nd amendment zealots have sent a clear message to every crazed individual in our society. Guns empower you against those you hate, whether it is the kids at your school who bully you incessantly, the immigrants shopping at Walmart, the black people attending church or the political leader you hate. Under the 2nd amendment zealots interpretation of the constitution, everyone gets a gun and whatever the consequences are from that are nothing compared to any sort of reasonable gun control that would make sure only responsible adults have possession of firearms.
School shootings and mass shooting are very rare despite the media and Democrats' assertion otherwise.
Why do you think people who ignore 15 laws wouldn't ignore the 16th and get the gun illegally?
Tell that to my kids who were told during a mass shooting drill to not unlock the door to let their friends get inside their classroom even if they are screaming and getting shot at because that would then let the shooter inside the class room.
I guess when you attempt a coup, constantly use the most inflammatory rhetoric possible, talk about being a dictator, and routinely suggest we'll have civil war if you're not the president, you encourage desperate people to do you harm. I hope Trump learns to be more responsible with his words and actions. His irresponsible leadership is putting his life in jeopardy.
^ Exactly. You get what you give.
Something really weird is happening lately. All my friends who have told me, repeatedly, that the citizens have the right to keep and bear arms in order to prevent tyranny are really mad right now. I don't understand it.
Man, this SUCKS! Yes Trump is hateful, and yes I will celebrate when he is no longer a political threat to our country, but damn, killing him is not the right thing AT ALL!
I want to see this POS in prison and watch his empire crumble. I want to see him utterly destroyed in November and embarrassed once again. His defeat needs to happen in the right way. If I believed in God, I would pray to protect this man so that we can see justice served...LEGAL justice.
"I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country," the president said, adding that he has made available "every resource, capability and protective measure necessary" to ensure the safety of the former president.
Trump, mocking Nancy and Paul Pelosi after Paul Pelosi was attacked, and seriously injured:
“We’ll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi, who ruined San Francisco — how’s her husband doing, anybody know?” Trump said to a raucous crowd of California Republicans at a state party convention.
Like Harris says, Trump is not a serious guy. He's also a dangerous guy.

We had shooter drills at my school as well. I don’t see the big point you’re making.

We did tornadoes drills when I was in school. We never had a tornado. I didn't go to school every day fearing tornadoes. And the media didn't sensationalize every tornado.
Not sure why people seem to think only the left or the right are to blame here.
Someone can say that Trump's rhetoric is divisive, inflamatory, and ups the temperature on this election unnecessarily.
This would be true.
Someone can say the left wing media and democrats equating Trump to Hitler as well as stating he is a threat to democracy is divisive, inflamatory, and ups the temperature on this election unnecesarily.
This would also be true.
Both sides can be in the wrong.
I don't think Trump jumping on a meme story about immigrants eating geese and cats was the best way to illustrate the obvious problems we have with illegal immigration. I also don't think that Kamala Harris lying about Trump saying there would be a bloodbath if he lost the election was a good look for her or for the temperature of the moment. We need better choices for politicians in this country....

In other words, Biden lied.
Everyone made fun of Pelosi at first everyone assumed it was a lover's quarrel.

No, Trump's quote was 11 months later, not "at first". And only right wing nutjobs made fun of Pelosi or assumed it was a lover's quarrel.
Trump: “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 problem with guns is they give insecure people a feeling of power. It's why suicide by gun is men's favoured method.
If anything it's Hollywood who should be in jail for promoting the McGarnigle world where everything can get solved by a bullet. Completely absurd productions that have little link to actual gun use.
Perhaps start with banning all unrealistic portrayals of gun use in films and see how it goes from there. Start showing the devastation that comes with dead bodies and not have Arnie blow is way through an entire town of "insert racism here", as if none of it really matters.
It is this low regard for human life that is the problem. And we all can fall into that trap, of not realizing how much our lives matter. Throwing it away very often for petty reasons.
Deep state whips up fear about Trump and he gets shot at and you blame Trump.
The shooter fell for the narrative about the Ukraine war and feared Trump would end funding
You may want to check your facts, Unkle. Trump was not shot at in this latest incident.
The media doesn’t need to whip up fear because he does that all on this own…THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS, THEY’RE EATING THE CATS…
I love when they repeat "the narrative" as if that phrase has any meaning at all. Trump induced the mob to attack the capital to stop the steal and to try and stop the legal transfer of power (threat to democracy) and all the Trump Republican minions have been against funding for Ukraine. So that reflects reality, not the narrative.

Who would down vote this?
I agree with all, but additionally Trump, the lunatic, is one of the weaker candidates. Nikki Haley would be much tougher than Trump. We need Trump to stay healthy

Sort of like the guy who started this thread, right?
And also, JD Vance, about Haitian immigrants. And MTG, about the ABC whistleblower.
Trump supporters seem to have a hard time with the truth.
