It'd be really funny if he won and then implemented strict gun control.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Just gonna echo what JD vance said about school shootings... "This is just a fact of life"
Yeah, I can see presidential assassinations becoming the preferred outlet for misanthropic rage for those who don’t like the sound of children screaming.
Better than going and shooting up a Walmart, that's for sure.
taylor has shooters in these streets 
Imagine if somebody actually shoots at Trump and says "I did it for Taylor."
hes free rn just sayin

I've never thought about it, but a golf course really is a great environment for that sort of thing...
- Get to lug around a bag full of long cylindrical metal objects, with covers on them
- Probably some wooded area
- Person likely to stand alone and focus on the ground for extended times
- No one notices if you're in there for like 12 hours
- Very quiet, good for focus
- Reduce popularity of a terrible activity (golf)

unbearably funny to me how the first assassination came with a sick photo and bump in the polls and now no one (aside from hogs) gives a fuck if it happens again lmfao
Only need to get lucky once
How can two gunmen both fail.
Please go to the range and practice before you do adventurism people. Make sure to add in some stress practice because when it comes to actual action your body is going to going into stress hyperdrive.
"Train harder than you play"
I think a lot of people are just underestimating how hard it is to shoot a gun.
This guy apparently was taking pot shots from several holes away.

He seemed really shaken by the assassination attempt, some staffer said he obsessed over it to the point of rewatching the video of it on loop, so if people keep popping off around him he might seriously break down.

Motherfuckers be skipping range day too often now.
I knew the outdoor rally shooter was a chud from jump. Chuds go for the head, leftists know to aim for center of mass.

I think his supporters will just start popping one off in his vicinity to try and boost his numbers.
Probably a swiftie
Oh no did they get the other ear?
Sadly he's fine 
Any shooter going after Trump is one less shooter at a school.
The New York Post said it was an AK-47. I don't know why that makes it funnier for me but it does.
MAGA communists in shambles over communist gun used to try and assassinate President Trunt.

They've since stated that the SS agent is the only one who fired.
My hot take guess is that this person was a second amendment open carry auditor, you are allowed to carry basically any firearm in Florida as long as you are actively fishing or traveling to/from the location you will be fishing.

In June 2022, Ryan Routh hung Taiwan flags in Kyiv to display that Taiwan had support for Ukraine. You could not create a more NATO guy in a lab.
Ryan Routh, told CNA that he posted the flags to pay tribute to the nations that have citizens fighting in Ukraine's foreign legion
Routh said there have been no protests about the presence of the Taiwan flag so far, but even if China is dissatisfied, "I can order another 1,000, they can't touch my flags."
He came to Kyiv more than two months ago to show his support for Ukraine and wanted to join the foreign legion
However, due to his age, he was unable to do so
Routh has assisted in recruiting 70 volunteers to join the fight against Russia.
He told the news agency that he included Taiwan's flag because he had met at least five Taiwanese volunteers serving in the legion over the past two months
i need an emergency 
episode on this guy
lol cheapskate won't even pay for plane tickets for his ukrainian mercenaries.
Unlimited assassination on Trump!
I think it's fair to say this will keep happening again and again until it won't, for any number of reasons.
Trump in his 50 cent era
