Your own common sense should have told you that you were quoting a false number of guns, still you are a Trump supporter, so what can you expect !RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 1:25 pmI’m only the messenger .

Yes , I have seen that figure quoted in the past . America has a population of about 350million . In the case of my friend's uncle he own's 9 guns so yeah, I believe there's roughly that many .

Re: Assassination attempt on Trump
All clear now. The roof used by the shooter wasn't covered by the Secret Service due to "health & safety" concerns. Also, they state that they employed security people using latest diversity guidelines. Maybe the guard in the wheelchair was struggling to climb the ladder.

So you’re saying blind people can’t be secret service snipers?

Re: Assassination attempt on Trump
I'm calling bullsh*t on that claim. I've seen the news footage and photos of the incident and the security team. Not one of them had purple hair.

Re: Assassination attempt on Trump
After reading your comment, out of curiosity I took a look on Wikipedia . According to a gun survey carried out in 2018 it was estimated in America there was about 393 million small arms fire in personal possession. I’d imagine thats more than enough guns to get the ball rolling if Trump had been assassinatedSid Bishop wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2024 8:24 amYour own common sense should have told you that you were quoting a false number of guns, still you are a Trump supporter, so what can you expect !RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2024 1:25 pmI’m only the messenger .

Way out, more like 350 million guns, it was estimated in 2018 that local, state, and federal police forces alone in the United States had just over 1 million firearms.

First of all you stated ''With an estimated 500,000 guns in circulation in America''RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2024 4:11 pmAfter reading your comment, out of curiosity I took a look on Wikipedia .

So according to you its gone from Five hundred thousand, or half a million and now you are saying ''in America there was about 393 million small arms fire in personal possession''
That is a massive difference dont you think ?

Re: Assassination attempt on Trump
Yes , I made a mistake . I apologise . However the 393 million figure is on wikipedia from 2018 so I'm confident that figure is correct . In fact my guess is it's probably higher now because that figure was from four years ago . Anyway my point is there are more than enough guns available in America .

Re: Assassination attempt on Trump
Yes most likely to be higher now. Time for much stiffer laws to restrict to sales of assault rifles and similar. Members of the public have no right or need to be armed up to their teeth with these military level firearms, what next, legal sale of hand grenades and mortar bombs etc !RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2024 11:49 pm Yes , I made a mistake .

Trouble is Trump is in bed with the all powerful National Rifle Association, so if he gets into power again, no gun controls will happen.
Trump is nothing more than an evil bully in 2023 he mocked the husband of Nancy Pelosi who's husband had been attacked and brain fractured with a hammer eg '' how’s her husband doing, anybody know?” Trump said to a raucous crowd of California Republicans at a state party convention. “And she’s against building a wall at our border, even though she has a wall around her house — which obviously didn’t do a very good job.” The comments amount to some of Trump’s most brazen yet regarding the attack on Paul Pelosi, whose skull was fractured after an attack in which authorities said an assailant beat him with a hammer. Trump had previously stoked far-right conspiracies that surrounded the event.''
Yet now he is now milking the sympathy after getting his ear nicked by the bullet fired at him.

Him just being missed has raised some serious internal uncomfortable questions for me…
