At this point monopoly of violence by the state would be an improvement

Also sounds like America's favorite hobby is back: shooting presidents.

Was there any previous attempts of murder without shooting? And if anyone has statistics of assassinations in other countries by guns vs something else I'd be curious to see. Except Fidel, that's going to take too long and skew the numbers 🤣🤣🤣

I don't think the new assassination fad is especially productive, but a complete state monopoly on violence would definitely not be an improvement. Trump can take a few bullets, it doesn't matter.

I was more referring to what happens when someone gets doxxed or school violence or civilians hating immigrants.
