Shouldn't jump to conclusions, there is no information released yet on the shooter's political affiliation.

What I will say is that a certain party should probably stop advocating for unlimited access to guns for the mentally ill.

I suggest you change the thread title, @Flame. It wasn't just shots "fired at" Trump. Trump was shot, through the ear it looks like. Failed attempt at head shot.

Joe Biden on 7.8.2024: "We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye."

Republicans routinely run ads where they shoot at images of their political opponents. Democrats advocate for stricter gun control. Pick a lane.

Link me to trump shooting or saying to put Biden is a bullseye. the election is over at this point but if Biden doesn't come out tonight and address the nation, that will be the final nail.

I agree, this will have immense consequences on the results of the election.
Depends, the shooter may well have been a schizo conspiracy theorist from Trump's cult off his meds. Dems also have the opportunity to use this to highlight the differences between the parties on gun control. They do have a bad habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, though.

Well, whoever shot him just scored a victory for Trump. Biden was already a wet noodle, this just makes him a soggy noodle now.
It really doesn't matter who shot at him because the base is just going to go with whatever conspiracy Trump comes up with. If it was a Biden supporter, then Trump can easily work that.

Perhaps, I just worry that regardless of who they were, too many people will fall into the camp of "The Democrats did this. He's going after the deep state and they want him dead." Even if untrue
