NST Leader: US dilemma over guns
The American reaction to a lone gunman’s botched assassination attempt on Donald Trump has been surreal denialism. The most delusional of these denials? “There is no place for political violence in America.” Ironically and historically, there is, riddled with brutal examples. Successful or failed assassinations against aspiring, sitting, or former American presidents or eminent political leaders have been dictated by historical precedents that still haunt their pop culture and literature.
