Lots of conservatives want gun control. Not zero guns, but control, background checks, waiting periods, safety training etc. sure .

+1. Also, I'm tired of gun control being presented as a panacea. It could be part of a more comprehensive solution. But it's not "easy" to confiscate guns as a pp said-- and it isn't a substitute for harsh criminal penalties.

Omg we used to have stricter gun laws and guess what? We did not have mass shootings.

Yeah, people *wanting* and buying AR’s are not concerned with penalties. Smh.

I am glad he’s ok. I am a for gun control and against violence of all kinds. But this event was a loss of life for at least one innocent person and the reason it wasn’t worse was because of the actions of a group of highly trained professionals- not Trump.

He pumped his fist after the shooter was killed. SS knew he was dead because they got an “All Clear” before moving Trump. You know this, so stop gaslighting us and condemning a man for bravely letting his supporters know he’s okay after getting shot in the face. You’re just scolding him to deflect from your deep shame and cowardice.

The SS knows there’s a chance of a second shooter or a coordinated attack which is why they are covering him with their bodies and trying to remove him from the scene. No one thought oh we are all good here, let’s get the rally going again. They are literally being used as human shields and he’s fighting them for a photo op. And people like it. Insane.

If I was shot in the face I would hope no one would Monday Morning Quarterback my defiant reactions. You sound like a total coward tbh.

I'm not a Trump guy, but his pushing away secret service so that he could communicate with the crowd right after he got shot in the face is so obviously badass that I don't know how anyone could see it differently.

He put secret service lives in jeopardy to be a selfish idiot who cared more about his shoes.

Hello! They put his life in jeopardy by not securing the area and letting the man fire a few rounds. So he can have a fist pump that he still survived.

Penalties and restrictions are correlated to lower rates of gun violence. So yes, some of those people are concerned with penalties.

Meanwhile, in other news, some southern states will begin selling ammo in vending machines. This is not fake news.

And yet the republican narrative is that stricter penalties will reduce crime. Which is it then?

Yea that dude a G.

Whose shoes don’t fit.

Who was taken to the ground violently by his protective detail. He was knocked out of his shoes by the violent action of being covered by his detail and pushed rapidly to the ground.

He’s a D not a G.

His slippers fell off when they picked him up.

Wrong again he asked to put them on before getting up.

Wanton disregard for secret services life.

This must be a male/female difference. As a woman, I saw that as a reckless and dangerous (for him) move--even if he had been told the danger was over. But then I'm risk averse and am always playing it safe in life.

Democrats are trying to remove his right to USSS protection, Myorkas is denying increases for protection, and now there's been an assassination attempt from a rooftop 150 yards from his podium. The Penn state police said that rooftop wasn't part of the perimeter-- what? It's USSS and Law Enforcement's job to CREATE an adequate perimeter. The max effective range on an AR-15 is 600 meters, and they allowed an unsecured rooftop at 150 meters? This cannot be a simple mistake. There needs to be a full investigation and prosecutions for these people who are attempting to clear the path for assassins.

Has anyone thought about making AR-15s illegal?

Oh, right. Republicans want to keep them and have more people own them.

I consider myself anti-gun, but the reflexive urge to turn this into a gun control legislation debate is silly to me. You know what the shooter did was already super illegal, right?

Banning assault rifles would be good.
If that’s a bridge too far then raising the age to 21 would have prevented this kid from killing an innocent bystander, being killed himself, and causing pain for his family.

Do you even know what Pennsylvania's gun laws are? I don't. But you know nothing at all about how he got the gun and you're already convinced you know how to solve it.

You don’t need to know much to support those common sense measures.

I'm surprised the SS didn't sort of roll him up in a rug and tote him out. Dont they kind of have to protect him, even from himself?

It’s not male/female. I’m a female and frequently said he’s too old to be running, which I still think. I saw the video and photos and my first reaction was wow, he is strong and brave.

You aren't a leader. Cowering on the floor is not the kind of leader anyone wants.

Yes, that's their training and protocol, to get him out of there as quickly as they can. But instead Dementia Don fought with them over his shoes and his hair and his photo op. And being 270 pounds plus that's a lot of bulk for them to try and wrestle to safety.
