I did. Has anybody else noticed that there is no mention of Global Warming in the Camala campaign ?

That is a reflex "go to" talking point for gun control. Why isn't Senator Dianne Feinstein repeating her mantra of banning the AR 15 ?

What would be the weapon of choice if the AR-15 was banned ?

The fact is protests do not have much influence unless mayhem is committed.
A man with an AK-style rifle pushed the firearm’s muzzle through the perimeter of Donald Trump’s West Palm Beach, Florida golf course Sunday as the Republican presidential candidate was playing a round, prompting U.S. Secret Service to open fire, according to three law enforcement officials. The former president is safe and unharmed.
The person dropped the weapon and fled in an SUV, and was later apprehended in a neighboring county, the officials said.
I bet trumps numbers will go up again after this attempt on his life.
It's no longer shocking... most Democrats are upset that this person wasn't successful, and it's no longer newsworthy. Most people won't even hear about this.
When the sheet hits the fan, there are no rules, no law, no Constitution, anything goes, it is war. Let the world know, in a very public way. Trump in '24. msm talking heads all explode, a stank green slime, like .. like.. rotting fish, in a San Francisco gay club's dumpster. They are what they think, orcs, demons, morons, zombies.

While I'm not shocked someone said something like that, I am a bit surprised it was you. :sad:
Why? I'm not insisting this is what actually happened... but isn't it a perfect "crime"? No shots were fired at Trump, but "evidence" was found at the scene pointing to an ""attempt on his life". I'm sure part of the plan (if there was one) was not to be seen crawling out of the bush by a member of the public though, and then having a photo taken of the escape SUV.
Now if Trump had actually been shot (and hit), I certainly wouldn't have suggested that it might've been a part of a plan to boost "numbers"... but hey, I'm sure stranger things have happened!

Then he put the photo into the shredder.. Yeah, that would then be fair game, cricket, Marquess of Queensberry, like ! What ? We should wait until it gets serious ? Then, afterwards, wring our hands, rend our garments, decry the terrible event, bemoan our despair. How about we become pro-active, then waste the zombies coming for the President, it's what they understand.

Between September 2019 and March 2020, Ryan Routh contributed more than $140 on the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show.
The dollar amounts given ranged from $1 to $25 and occured only during the six-month time period of the 2020 election’s primary season.
None were earmarked for President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris.
$140 +/- a couple of bucks... total.
Wow, he rates right up there with Michael Bloomberg as a major contributor.
Maybe, like, Routh and Rabid are somehow involved in a conspiracy, the rhetoric is the same, same, can't possibly just be a co-incidence, identical, like, they were reading from the same script, like. Drop a dime on the nutter, the whacko sheet he spews ending, no more noise from the deluded dempartie dingbat. ' Hello ? Usss ?

It's a very good thing Trump is attracting completely inept aspiring assassins. This guy was going to take a shot from 400 yards with a rifle that has an effective range of 380 yards to a point target. Even if he hadn't doofed around like a complete moron until the secret service shot him up, he was never going to make any shot he took.
What's scary as hell is that folks with high-powered rifles (even if they are the wrong ones) are getting this close to Trump. If you could get an AK in there you could do the same with a 30-06 or a Dragunov, and that's VERY different.
I think a lot of folks have lost sight of just how significant an assassination attempt on a US Presidential candidate is. That this has happened twice now should horrify everyone.

It should horrify everyone... but apparently it's just another one of the many (attempted) shootings taking place every day in the States. The American public appears to have become desensitized to these events.
As much as I can't stand Trump, I sure as hell don't wish for him to be shot. It would end up being a convenient excuse for absolute chaos to break out in the US.

I feel like this distorts things somewhat. The attempts on Gerald Ford are the closest two assassination attempts have ever been (in terms of time) on any sitting President, former President, or Presidential candidate.
