They’re going to ramp security way up. I wouldn’t be surprised if the left finally gets their way with gun bans as a result of this. Right before a fascist takeover.

It could happen.
Historically in the US assassination attempts are pretty much the only thing that moves the needle on gun control.

It would stop being “gun control” and start being “disarming the opposition” – i.e., the precursor to a purge.

It could happen, but in this country, I doubt it. If it happens in this country it will be like getting an abortion or voting: put up too many arbitrary, inconvenient hurdles and people just won’t exercise the right to begin with.
