Only the Beginning, Folks. Only the Beginning
Man grabbed policeman's gun at Las Vegas rally and said he wanted to kill Donald Trump A British man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer's gun so he could kill the billionaire Republican presidential candidate. Anti-Trump protester Michael Steven Sandford, 19, even went to a gun range on Friday so he could learn how to shoot. The British national had lived in Hoboken, New Jersey, for around 18 months and had driven to San Bernardino in California before travelling to Las Vegas on Thursday. The teenager told police he visited the Battlefield Vegas shooting range on Friday where he fired off 20 rounds from a 9mm Glock pistol to learn how to use it.

Your Say
Reads like a staged event to me. Look to the justice dept. for more of these false gun control lies.

The Left has been pounding the drum that Trump is "literally Hitler" for a year and they are shocked (SHOCKED!) that some marginally sane person would try to take a shot at him?
And why is this not a bigger story? If somebody farted in Hillary's general direction, the Media would be out for blood.

somebody is farting in her direction, that Secret Service guy. And the media is going out for blood. First, all the broadcast nets are blacklisting him which should cut off about 11% of his exposure.
Cable is picking up the book and talk; they're running with it. Believe Hillary and or Bill have issued a Fatwa on his ass.

It would be a pleasure to take this guy back to that range and let him become the next target. Throw his ass in jail for attempted murder and let our own beefy, cornfed American convicts have a go at him.

Learned how to use a pistol by shooting 20 rounds. That's impressive. I've shot hundreds of rounds and I'm still not an expert shot.

It only takes one round placed in a vital zone to a**inate. No prior training at the range required. This is why the politicians are so afraid of guns. European countries are the best example of the political use of guns, knives, clubs, etc.

It's entirely shameful that the evil Mr Trump's hateful racist rantings have forced this poor soul into this self destructive behavior. It is clear we need new laws to limit right-wingers from inciting mentally unstable people with their despicable disagreeableness.

@djaces,
At first I laffed, thinking you were writing satire.
I'm still not certain. But if so, that's a great parody of the mouth-breathing snowflakes who believe whatever the media tells them to believe.
