Brilliant! Everyone wins. Nr of guns go down, democrats don't like them

AFAIK, that has not be demonstrated yet. The Donald has pissed off a
lot of his former followers by waffling on abortion in an attempt to
avoid a Kamalaslide. And a lot of those are armed and have very short
fuses.

Sounds democrat to me.

There's been differing stories
The latest information I've seen is that he was registered democrat
before he lost voting rights for a felony convinction around 2002
He regained voting rights in 2012 and has been unaffiliated since

He posted in 2020 that he'd voted for Trump in 2016 but wanted him out

So "he's a democrat" seems a dubious interpretation

It's a Republican interpretation.

Anything to avoid the possibility that Trump's dissing everyone but
his base and then betraying his base on the topic of abortion could be
coming back to haunt him.

And, to blame Democrats for /daring/ to follow Trump's lead ("how dare
they! only /we/ can do that!" -- a cry echoed recently by Hezbollah
upon receiving a dose of their own medicine) and so provoking the
attempts.

But, in this case, I think he's just a nutter. And /that/ is assuming
he meant to shoot at Trump; since he didn't shoot, who can say what
(if anything) he had in mind?

In the prior case, since the perp was checking out Boomers-in-Power
and was young, I think a "boomer removal" effort was more likely.
