    Trump campaign floundering so hard that an assisnation attempt of a former President couldn’t dominate the news cycle and they’re trying to make it happen 2 months later.

    Not gonna happen weirdos.

      Yup. They’ll keep trying to mention it up until November, and I’m sure they’ll try to trot out merch for it again as one last grift.

    Ya want the truth? Lax gun laws led to public shootings as an easy way to gain notoriety. So many people took the school shooting route that they are now old hat. Want to get famous? Take out a prominent politician. What doesn’t help is Republicans blocking every effort to control access to guns (even those the majority of Republicans want) and Trump’s rhetoric stoking fear and normalizing violence.

      The only people relevant in this discussion are the lobbyists who buy the politicians who ensure that the NRA’s bottom line only ever goes up.
