    Thank you! That's better information than they are giving on ABC right now.

    I'm assuming the shots came from outside, though.

    Sorry but it was almost inevitable sadly. Look at the world stage and Japan even lost a beloved PM Shinzo Abe

    LOL. You guys are bringing it up. On the bigger picture, this is more about gun violence in the USA than just one man. But if you are going to tell someone to "shut the **** up," you are violating the forum rules. If you think you are a man and I am a mouse is also a violation of forum rules. If the forum rules are suspended for just one day, I will tell you how we can see if that statement is actually true or not.

    we have had attempted political assassinations with Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Geroge HW Bush, Bill Clinton, GWB, Obama, Trump, and Biden when they were in the WH. We also had Gabby Giffords assassination attempt, we had the Congressional baseball shooting, and so forth. We have more gun violence in the US than most countries that are in the midst of a civil war now. WE think using firearms is the solution to all our problems, even political problems.

    And with Trump's inflammatory rhetoric on immigrants, political parties, etc, you need to look at the source. It is not whether you agree with it or not, just the fact that it is inflammatory, much like your rhetoric.

    There are security checks.

    However, this could also have been done from a distance. Rifles shooting accurately from half a kilometer or more away and people that can make shots like that are nothing exceptional.

    Maybe, the shooting is a reaction to unstable, crybaby Anti-Trumpers overreacting..

    Proof the left has been unhinged by Biden saying Trump is a threat to democracy for 4 years.

    yeah, to me it sounded like something small caliber, likely 5.56mm/.223. I’d guess an AR-15 variant of some type.

    That’s what it sounded like to me, with the close snap and distant pop sounds, but that is just a guess.

    How do you know this was not an ex trump supporter and life long conservative?? For that matter how do you know it was not some religious nut wanting to see if Trump would achieve the second coming?

    What actions? All I see is how divisive politics have gotten in this country. And myself, I want as little to do with it as possible.

    All it tells me is there may be one shooter, which may be an indication of a fight turn deadly, not an assassination attempt.

    Just to be clear are you saying that Democrats did this and they are violent thugs?

    I can't really tell, especially since I don't know how far away the shots were coming from. But I'm assuming the shots came from outside. I can't picture someone sneaking a gun past security getting in.

    Thank you for information. Can you please give us a source? The networks aren't giving us any details which evidently are already out there.

    Given a bullet struck Trump I would say that it is highly likely to be an assassination attempt. There's no logic to what you're saying at all.

    Thanks, I never thought of that possibility.
    Immediately brings to mind JFK.
