Assassination attempts are a means of influencing the balance of power and politics and always will be. Just because one rally is geared toward NRA members doesn't make it any less dangerous than a rally geared toward union workers or party supporters in a particular city.
Besides, the ban itself has absolutely no deterrence on anyone who is determined to assassinate a target. They'll find a way to do it whether it involves a stabbing, shooting, bombing, or poisoning to get it done.
