Forty-five years ago, John Hinckley Jr attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan as he left the Hilton hotel in Washington, injuring the US president and three others. Obsessed with the actor Jodie Foster, and seeking to gain her attention, the shooter had initially pursued Reagan’s Democratic predecessor, Jimmy Carter.
On Saturday night, the hotel again rang to shots as it hosted the annual White House correspondents’ dinner. Tuxedo-clad politicians and journalists dived under tables as bangs were heard from the lobby, and Donald Trump was rushed from the stage. A secret service agent was shot, though saved by his ballistics vest. The echoes of the 1981 attack are a potent reminder that violence has long been a tragic strand of the American political tradition. Gun violence is grimly familiar. This does not diminish the seriousness of an incident that was widely and rightly condemned. Rather, it highlights its importance. …
The shooting also demonstrates once more the calamitous effect of gun culture. The US has 120 firearms for every 100 residents. While shooting homicides fell last year, on average they killed 40 people each day. A 2024 study by the violence research programme at the University of California, Davis suggested that many recent firearms purchasers were open to political violence.
— Editorial, The Guardian view on Trump and the Washington shooting: political violence and gun culture endanger all
This had nothing to do with ‘gun culture’.
It has everything to do with democrat politicians and the left wingers intent upon killing anyone conservative, and the hatred they have manufactured and the false narratives they use to keep their manufactured false narratives of hate alive in their attempts to overthrow the country to install their fascists authoritarian tyranny.
No gun made this violence loving mentally ill TDS infected left winger do what he did. He manufactured all this hatred after being fed a steady diet of false narratives and rhetoric by other mentally ill left wingers and communists and democrat politicians. His posts on BlueSky show this, his ‘manifesto’ shows this, his own words show this.
They are trying to change the narrative from ‘one of our loon left wingers did this’ to ‘the gun did it’
This deranged left winger was also carrying knives to use, in one part of his manifesto he alluded to the possibility of using explosives – did the knives and explosives make him do it? He traveled by train from California to the location, did the train make him do it? He planned and executed his failed plan, did his plan make him do it? Nope, none of this made him do this, not the plan or gun or knives or the explosives musing or train. It was all him being a product of the democrat politician driven left wing culture of mental illness and violence and made up manufactured hatred and narratives that made him do it.

…
That’s the fuel driving all of this — a man who had so thoroughly marinated in left-wing Trump hatred that he convinced himself violence was not just justified, but obligatory. He even acknowledged he’d felt this way ‘a long time ago’ but called Saturday night ‘the first real opportunity’ to act on it.

It didn’t take long for the legacy media to shift to its preferred ‘gun violence’ narrative after the White Correspondents’ Association Dinner shooting on Saturday night. Despite this being yet another assassination attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, the legacy media talking heads, already sensing the suspect was one of their fellow Democrats, deliberately started shifting the blame.

If Trump is assassinated by one of these deranged left wingers – a lot of democrat politicians and a lot of these left wingers pushing this crap are probably going to become extinct in a short amount of time.
