trump assassination attempt

Exactly. Very well said.

Also, unless using "match ammo", there can be significant difference between individual rounds. For "match ammo", there is a great deal of effort to limit those differences so that variations in shot placement is minimized. Most of us, myself included, have never even seen "match ammo", much less used it.

It would very hard to stage that. Especially with someone who was not a world class sniper.

Biden just has politics he doesn't agree with swept under the carpet, in politically correct way. An underhanded stubborn character insisting he is the only correct way, that none of Biden's hypocrisy should surface in Iran or EU
Trump is gaining more popularity, even won election because Biden can't cover up lies, forever, even scolding Kamilla on leaving office.
Obviously no assassination attempts at Biden by silenced side of the coin.

Why always the assumption that a staged assassination would require a competent sniper?
If it was staged, the target is desired to survive, and the bullet would be aimed off target into the crowd.
In the interests of deniability you need an unknown shooter with at least tenuous links to the opposition. I see it therefore as possible that a staging committee/organiser would select someone possibly incompetent enough to fail the brief by actually injuring the "non-target"

What part of that doesn't just say "politician?"

Not sure which you're talking about here, because it looks applicable to both sides, but it is a better description of Trump

Need more specificity to interpret this

It appears to me more that's it's because Trump has learned that he doesn't HAVE to cover up lies, just shout louder and point the finger. e.g. "Biden is lying"... it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

The only people with a motive to kill Biden would have been the Democrats, making Harris the incumbent.
Is "the silenced side of the coin" meant to mean the Republicans?
That is truly funny... I'd like to see that on a t-shirt.

Do you think that assassination attempts have anything to do with politics? Some are, but a great are hardly political at all.

For an example that most have probably heard of, Hinckley's attempted assassination of President Reagan was because he was trying to attract the attention of actress Jodie Foster. There was nothing political about it.

In the Crooks attract on Trump in Pennsylvania, Crooks was not particularly political. There was some even indication that he might have favored the Republicans. There were reports a week or two after the attempt that said he was tracking both Biden and Trump.

There are kooks out there who will try to assassinate government officials in spite of having little or no political influence to do so. No President is immune to this.

The liklihood of him using match ammo greatly depends on what caliber he was using.I heard reports that he was using AK-47 which shoots a notoriously low quality ammo in most cases in 7.62x39mm. I heard he was possibly using AR-15. The thing is that match ammo is not really designed for maximum terminal performance. I even heard he could of been using .22LR so if he was using that I would say there was almost no chance it was match because .22LR generally does not come in match.I have seen match ammo at the store.Also there is this thing called MOA or minute of angle....a real accurate gun will put a few shots in a 1 inch group at 100 yards which was unheard of back in the day. But even then you cant promise a bullseye. Theoretically that bullet taking a slightly different path in a perfectly aimed shot could have saved his life.Because he was only about 1 mm off.

I would put the odds of him even knowing about match ammo at arbitrarily close to 0.

Good point.

If shot Joe Biden in bum with long range pellet gun, is it a crime?
He won't sit for a week.

Don't loose my sense of humour, get too mad, don't do anything illegal
