[Politics] Trump under fire.

How does a guy with documented mental health issues and a criminal past get hold of an AK47 anyway?

Even for America I thought that stuff was a "no go"?

Tbh, guns wise, nothing's really a no-go

Four years ago a criminal with mental health issues had the nuclear codes

Well, exactly

I suppose there's always the possibility that his rifle wasn't even loaded and he wasn't even in possession of ammunition and he was just making a symbolic statement, which might explain the absence of more serious charges

Possible but playing a very dicey game seeing as he was nearly killed. Mind you, he has numerous mental health issues so perhaps that played a factor

History will not remember this era in the former Republican party very unfavourably.

I fear there may be a typo here...

I just get so negative when thinking and typing about the Republican party!

It is simply not right it is that there in an open season on Trump no matter what you think of him, even though he is a big believer in the rights to own an assault rifle. Basketcase ideolagy

Looks kind of familiar. Perhaps I need a history lesson

I'm curious as to what the ceramic tile in his backpack was for?

They're used in bullet proof vests for body armour...

Now been charged with federal gun crimes - possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obstructed serial number. No mention of charges related to attempt to endanger life or anything like that, unless they'll come later...

Perhaps they have charged him with the easy bits so they can hold him in jail while deciding which of a range of more serious charges to go for.

It reminds me of the scene at the end of each Scooby Doo episode just before they pull the rubber mask off revealing the real villain and they utter the line, "and I would've gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for you meddlin kids"

I wonder who lies beneath the mask. My money's on Melania.
