    Guys, I hate to be controversial here, but maybe we can’t extrapolate anything valuable about politicians based on two incidents of attempted assassination. I don’t care about the opinions of these two crazy guys.

      You are correct, it isn’t scientific to extrapolate from such a paucity of data. We will have to have more data points to test any hypothesis.

        If it becomes a democratic majority of the US who has attempted to assassinate the guy, it would be right to listen to them about who should be president. But not because of the assassination thing.

      The two people are just two people, as you say. What we’re actually talking about is how thousands of relatively famous Republicans and tens of millions of other Republicans react to the actions of those two.

      None of that! The voice of the people will not be denied, and only needs reason if it supports the popular view!

      That said, this is one of the specific reasons to defend the second amendment, and I’m glad it’s being used appropriately.
