Wonder if the dude realized that he was in Murrica, and he could have just bought his own gun...

Candidates' rally are gun free zone

Uhh isn't that against the right to bare arms?

I can think of a LOT of places that would love to be gun free but aren't legally allowed to ban guns from their establishment... Bars for example.
-I have a feeling, those laws changed since I last saw people intentionally walking into them with assault weapons in protest.

Then again schools are also gun free zones... (unless your a student, then they are required for protection)

O_o Well now I am confused.

Most bars I've seen in gun friendly areas are specifically posted as not allowing ccing a weapon, and those where it's legal open carrying is prohibited as well

Also, I'm surprised I'm not seeing more crap about this, this is a major candidate being targeted here.
It was a harebrained plot.  The Secret Service deals with something like three plots a day to kill the president or a nominee during election season.  It's surprising that it got this much attention.
If someone tried killing Hillary Clinton would you brush it off as "meh?"

I probably would. I'll actually be surprised of nobody does try, given the sheer frenzy of hatred that some of Trump's people have whipped themselves into.

Mainiac, you've got a source for that "three plot a days thing"? Because I really can't believe assassination attempts are that common.

That reminds me of when CBS reported on the death threats to Trump's son, saying if Trump didn't withdraw his family would be killed. CBS reported on this and gave out his son's home address like stone cold sneks

Maybe assassination threats, you know like suspicious mail, online threats, phone calls and such

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_assassination_attempts_and_plots
Wikipedia might be full of shit but they have a list of attempts that actually took off the ground into reality, or close to it
Interestingly most are carried out by sane people with political motives. This one I don't think was sane

There are a lot of illegal migrants from the UK in America, and some, I assume, are not autistic assassins

Please this is Donald FREEKEN Trump. One of the slimiest most immoral people in all the United States! He intentionally put people in the poor house just so he could become slightly richer.

He should be well acquainted to death threats at this point. Your not going to get to his family.

I dont remember where I read that although the handy wikipedia page did offer this source:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/5967942/Barack-Obama-faces-30-death-threats-a-day-stretching-US-Secret-Service.html
And it seems it's 75% mentally ill people, like this guy.

If someone tried killing Hillary Clinton would you brush it off as "meh?"

I would be amazed if a day went by where they didn't arrest someone for trying to kill her.  There are a lot of mentally ill people in the US and there are a lot of media outlets telling those crazy people she is evil.

It helps that as a whole Republicans have more guns the Liberals...

And that Republicans have stated their desire to use them against government officials more then Liberals.

:P

I am joking... Though I haven't said anything that was untrue :P

The guns aren't the limiting factor.  The limiting factor is someone being irrational enough to do it and being pointed in the right direction.  Right wing media is practically designed to convince crazy people to try to kill the president.

So, Trump's campaign finances. They are a mess. He apparently ended May with 1.3 million to Clinton's 42.4 million, and the RNC is having trouble reaching out to donors on his behalf because he doesn't seem to want to be involved. In fact general coordination between his campaign and the RNC is remarkably terrible. I know he's good at getting free press, but that's not the same as a coherent strategy.

I'm... I'm pretty convinced at this point that Trump doesn't really want to be president, folks. At least not enough to put any actual effort in.
