The Left can pound sand with their calls for tone and rhetoric. Look to your own house first progressives. This is your fault. I have zero spoons to give for your calls for our side to tone things down.

This is something Greg Gutfield has been saying for quite a long time now. Glad to see others are finally waking up to the fact.

I have noticed that no one is after Harris. ONLY Trump. also notice how there is no call to ban AR style weapons after the attempts that I have seen either. Trump has some folks ....................................concerned.

Of course, the Right which promotes the free availability of a class of fire-arms whose primary purpose is killing human beings, is totally free of guilt in this situation. In fact, its self-righteousness is totally in character and in full-view in Erick's rant today!!!!

Tell us you know nothing about guns and just get it over with. Both AR and AK rifles are used for a whole variety of shooting sports, even by little old ladies like me. Good grief.

Bob owns one of those KR-47.15 thingies 😁😁😁

From his rant, I would say that is about right.

Of course, we make games from all killer weapons humankind has developed over the millenia. Fencing using the weapon called a sword. Archery from the bow and arrow originally invented to kill animals and then used by humans on each other. Javelin throwing from the spear. In your example it's "shooting sports" where humans shoot at a variety of targets in lieu of human beings using weapons originally developed by humans to kill each other in warfare!!!!

All these sports are very different in their origin than individual sports like tennis, golf and croquet or team sports like hockey (both field and ice), lacrosse and baseball all of which use a stick modified to propel and direct a ball.

Using this argument one could take my theory to its illogical conclusion that "prehistoric" human males differentiated themselves from the lower primates when they first picked up a robust stick of wood, i.e., a rudimentary tool, to beat unwilling females into domestic and sexual submission thereby creating the family unit. Then of course Eve got her revenge in the Garden of Eden!!!!

Trump will not be truly safe from the Left as long as he is drawing breath. Then, like was done with Princess Dianna, Trump willll be buried on one of his properties where no one can get to the grave to vandalize or desecrate it.

I think this persuades some of those undecides to vote for him. It is bad that people tried to kill Trump again. I am glad the secret service did their job and they were able to arrest the man.

I agree with everything Erick says here and will add that I think the idea that the country is going to end if Trump is elected is hyperbolic. The Left smears everyone they don't like as a Nazi and never worries about any extremists on their own. But it is also wrong for conservatives and the Right to talk about toning down the temperature when we have a Presidential candidate spreading conspiracy theories about Haitians eating cats and ranting about how he hates Taylor Swift. Neither of these comments justify an assassination but Trump and his cohorts have done their fair share to raise the temperature and in this country. Everyone needs to calm down.

You, nor anyone else can "disprove" the pet eating story, which they didn't make up but only repeated what they were told. It may or may not be true. Stop talking about it.

I'm voting for the guy they're trying to kill.

This is going to sound a bit counter productive. But at this point if I were trump it’s time to drop out. I’m sorry but to me it’s not worth my life. Someone else can take the nomination and beat Harris in a landslide. There’s no point in running now that Biden has dropped for Trump.

At 78 approaching 79, time to enjoy life with family and friends.

I hate to say. I like trump think he has a heart of an American. But really? What’s the motivation here? You’ve made your point and pissed off the left. Leave before you get yourself assassinated.

Chaz, I agree with you. I prefer to believe he's trying to stay out of jail. I don't believe it's altruism. But if I'm wrong and it's just to settle old scores, we should be as afraid of Trump as we are Harris because who hates SO MUCH that they are willing to continually risk their life??

The left will do the same to any republican. They don't plan on giving up power ever again.

I think the ship has sailed on anybody having trouble identifying so-called modern-day Nazis--the far left and the Democrats who toady to them, have settled that question in my mind. Now, it's becoming urgent for somebody to figure out how to keep them from getting rid of their political opposition. Things like this have a way of growing...

It would be really nice if people on the right would all wake up to this fact and start acting like they understand they have an actual enemy who will kill them.

MSNBC is posting about Trumps secret service detail- Iran is probably taking note.

something smells here.

HOW DID THEY MISS . We always hear about how great the secret service shoots.

200-300 yards is not far but not an easy.

you would think if they were on a golf course and were the forward guards they would have more than 38 specials

This is on the Democrats. We know they claim Trump is what they actually are. They need to stop. Sadly, many Democrats are disappointed these assassins haven’t been successful. They need to understand they could well unleash something that will not end well for them or anyone else.

I have written this before, but it is the truth.

Liberals, progressive, communists... what ever you want to call modern day Democrats... it is like they are the wife who over-eats and burns down the house when her husband who eats healthy and exercises tells her that her rear looks fat in those jeans. During the trial with a jury of other females, the husband is found guilty of causing her to burn down the house and thus must do time while also paying her for the loss in value for the destroyed house.

Then when he is released from prison, she is waiting in her car and runs him down and kills him. She is found not guilty for reason that he clearly was responsible for her ongoing anger having told her that her rear looks fat in those jeans.

Exactly.

You are so right Erick. They can’t take him out politically or legally, so they are going to try to take him out physically. It’s sickening what these people are doing.

I worry about a really competent shooter giving this a try. There are many out there, and the equipment exists, to hit a man size target from over a mile. I fear that might happen, and there is literally no way to stop that.

And they only have to be lucky once; the SS and other law enforcement must be lucky every time.
