“My father is running out of lives here,” son Eric Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “How many more rifles are going to come within assassination distance of my father?”
THEY'RE BLAMING THE GUNS! 😂
164running out of lives? What is he, a cat? Better watch out for JD, Ohians with brown immigrants in the family are known to eat cats. /s
43Let's hope they run with the guns R bad story
28They'll gladly disarm people. Just not their supporters.

He’ll be fine, he’s out golfing, not confined in a small room of 20-30 people that’s cluttered and only has one door.

Shooter was a secret service agent firing at someone they thought had a gun. Suspect was arrested, no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.
(I know, I know, NYP, but after going through 5 articles, this one seems to have the most detail.)
"Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter."
74no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.
CNN via (HBO)Max reporting that they found an AK-47 in the bushes:
Law enforcement officials found a weapon and other items left behind by the suspect where he was positioned in the bushes near the Trump International Golf Club in South Florida on Sunday.
“In the bushes, where this guy was, is an AK-47 style rifle with a scope; two backpacks, which were hung on the fence and had ceramic tile in them; and a GoPro. … So, those are being processed right now,” Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said.

Everything they say is to distract from the fact that they have no policies that improve the lives of the vast majority of their constituents.
43They have concepts of policies...
7A decade after stating they're working on a plan, years after saying it would be unveiled "in two weeks". What a disappointment, that we're forced to take these obvious pathological liars seriously again.

If guns are good, and more guns mean more safety, why are they shooting at someone just because they have a gun?
40Guns are only good when I have a gun. When you have a gun, then I'm terrified for my life and have to stand my ground. Especially if I'm "defending" property that may or may not be mine.

A Secret Service agent was one hole ahead of Trump while he was golfing and spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of a fence in the golf club, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw of Palm Beach County said at a news conference. The agent “immediately engaged” with the person holding the rifle, who fled. Bradshaw confirmed that law enforcement officials had a potential suspect in custody.
33Ngl I wish someone had taught the guy proper fieldcraft. You don’t expose your barrel from a hide.
3The picture i saw of the "hide" was a chain link fence, you could probably see all of him through the fence, he probably put the barrel through the fence to make sure he didn't hit it.

Shooter (if he ever actually got a shot off) is an American who has tried to recruit other to fight in Ukraine against Russia. Curiously, he is also a former Trump voter.
His X account, which has now been suspended, included a number of posts about Trump. "@realDonaldTrump While you were my choice in 2106, I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointment and it seems you are getting worse and devolving," he wrote in one post in June 2020. "I will be glad when you gone."
20As soon as this happened, his team immediately started requesting donations. Sorry, folks, I call bullshit. There was no actual danger here, just exploiting his cult
22Guns arent the problem!!! /s Let’s make it all about him. Asshole.
20Personally, I find the police shootings of pets far more shocking.
17It was the work of Haitians and democrats /s

15I would die laughing if the shooter turned out to be a Swiftie.
10Highly doubt that. Most likely another deranged lunatic who thinks trump isn't extreme enough

Umm ...
"Secret Service officials said Donald Trump was between “3 and 500 yards” away from the suspect.
“But with a rifle and the scope like that, that’s not a long distance,” officials said."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2024/sep/15/donald-trump-shooting-florida-golf-course
I think I could probably take him out from 3 yards away.
10They mean 300.
16With an AK style weapon, even with a scope that would be a difficult shot to make
6With a scope an AK style gun is effectively maxed out at 300m. After that their accuracy is too low to reliably hit the target. They are designed to put out a spray of bullets at closer ranges. In WWII most combat occured at ranges under 200m so they are effective for what they were designed for.
Very good for combat, not so good for sniping.

Just watch him claim how 'in danger' he was...
4I guess it was too soon for me to put my cope ear bandage back on
5Oh well
