How Latest Assassination Attempt Against Trump Shatters Gun Control Narratives
By Tom Knighton | 8:31 PM | May 04, 2026
A week ago, I was talking about the latest attempt to assassinate President Donald Trump. This time, the gunman was clear that he wanted to kill as many members of the administration as he could, excluding Kash Patel for some strange reason. He was in the place to commit exactly that attack, and he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling Secret Service agents.
But, as per usual, the discussion from Democrats has hinged exclusively on gun control. Not their own rhetoric or anything else, just gun control.
Yet the truth is that this latest attack, especially when considered with the other two assassination attempts, actually shows just how useless gun control is.
Let's start with the arguments for gun control this time around. I could debunk them, but John Lott, writing at The Federalist, does a fine job of doing so himself.
