I must admit, I can't see the Presidents Security Service giving a would be assassin a good kicking...not on camera anyway.

Anyway, in before inevitable gun control arguments.

You threw in a slight to the NRA and expect this not to turn into what Oberon described?

Unless you tell me that we have to have a permission to start a new thread.
(if you want to ban it, go on, I don't mind)

Btw, there's another thread about gun control, I'm sure you know about it.
I do know about it. And I also know that you would like this one to become one as well. Otherwise, you would not have tried to relate the NRA and the President Obama's security team to the attempted assasination of a Bulgarian minority leader. Let's call a spade a spade, shall we?

Well gun control argument boondoggles aside it was a pretty poor response by the Bulgarian secret service, assuming that is who they were.

4-5 guys all standing around delivering mostly impotent kicks while one guy tries to wrestle the cuffs on?

If that happened to the POTUS that assassin would have been immediately immobilized, buried under a thousand pounds of muscle. He wouldn't have even made it on the stage.

All the government wants is to take guns away from responsible people and only let criminals and whackos have them. And be damn the US Constitution and our right to bear arms.

Hadn't heard. A supporter cleared to be near him?
