Yep, one of the highest prison incarceration rates in the world, yet still the land of the free. |

Ironically Trump himself cannot carry a gun as he is a convicted felon.

We're now getting reports that the suspect was in the tree line, armed with an AK-47 rifle, according to the BBC's US partner CBS News. Multiple law enforcement officials have told the broadcaster that the armed suspect was spotted on the edge of the golf course by a member of Donald Trump's US Secret Service's advance team, two holes ahead from where the president was golfing. The suspect reportedly fled the scene after he was engaged by Secret Service agent with multiple gunshots, and the suspect jumped into a car. CBS reports that a car with the same license plate number was stopped in Martin County and one individual was taken into custody. It is unclear if it is the gunman, but it is believed to be and law enforcement officials are questioning that individual now. Law enforcement officials say an AK-47 style weapon and scope has been recovered at the scene by the golf course. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8dp10d4vq2t#player |

Bloody hell.
Just got back from the hospital (My mum had a turn) so I've not seen any news.
Will Trump even reach the election.

Was he motivated by Ukraine? I haven't seen anything about the story for more than 24 hours, but the last I heard it was being mooted that he may have been motivated by a presumption that a Trump administration would be sympathetic to Putin on this issue. If I remember correctly, he said online that he was prepared to die for Ukraine.
Things move fast with a story like this, so information that is more than a day old has probably been displaced by now. Any more insights as to motive?

The would be assassin is a nutjob first and then thinks of potential victims and supposed justifications.
