Why not just have more "good" guys with guns?? Isnt that the cure to violent gun crimes they've been preaching?

    People getting covid vaccines and wearing face masks were living in fear. Man standing behind bullet proof glass? Brave. Strong. Manly.

    Well, he is the leader of the MAGA religion

    As would any red blooded conservative who believes that more guns means more safety.

    That may be necessary because firearms are still allowed at his events (part of the idiotic MAGA ideology, after all), but tennis balls, for example, are not. Maybe Trump can get a good deal on the bulletproof Pope-mobile. What a moron.

    He could still be shot from behind. To be safe he should have bulletproof glass on all sides. Also above and below, to account for drones and communist molemen. And make sure it's airtight, in case someone throws toxic gas at him.

    Isn't bulletproof glass woke? Should just have more guns there. Then everyone would be too afraid to shoot him

    At least he can start getting used to being in a cage.

    I don’t exactly blame him. That assassination attempt was a massive failure on the organization that should be fail proof.

    At the same time, I wonder if this will just be a way to remind people about it. Nobody is talking about it anymore and it was a huge deal for his campaign.

    I thought it was interesting that he said he was going to return to the same location in October for a rally. That is a great strategy. So far that is the only thing his campaign has going for it, so might as well lean into it (the strategy…).

    I assume that it is no longer being reported on because Trump's campaign planners could'nt even find halfway credible evidence that the assassin was not a conservative. This can hardly be explained in any other way than that Trump is not very popular with his own violent supporters.

    I wouldn't say "not very popular" ... it's more like there's a non-zero chance that some of his violent, unhinged followers will, upon realizing he's a fraud and they've been duped all this time, turn their violence towards him. It only takes one.

    Impossible to be unsafe around so many good guys with guns. Maybe the glass helps him see them better to know how safe he is.

    Why? Is there some sort of problem with gunfire in America? I wonder why that might be.

    The hilarious part is how security could screen for guns if his 2020 campaign hadn’t run up debts with unpaid bills at indoor venues. Having to do outdoor events was an unforced error.

    That's a weird way to spell good guy with a gun.

    Would that stop a .223 or .30-06?

    I feel like whatever they are putting him behind won't actually stop an assassination attempt unless it was like that level X shit they put in the motorcade limo that's really more of a tank than a limo

    There are rollable protective glass shields, as an example. In a few minutes I was able to find some rated up to UL 8, which is able to stop 7.62x51, and very easily to stop the lesser 5.56mm. I'm not seriously looking to buy these, so I'm sure I've looked into it much less than the USSS.

    UL 8 isn't rated for .30-06, but will block at least a great majority of possible firearms.
