  Several assassination attempts in USA history - Kennedy, Lincoln and a couple of others whose names escape me. Political violence has been part of the culture from the get go, when the Pilgrm Fathers set up their little isis-lookalike theocracy.

  Yeah, I was wondering why it took so long. I thought the number 2 reason their redneck gun but types give for why they neeeeeed a gun is that they can assassinate their leader if they don’t like them. Or maybe it’s number 3. Dealing with trespassers, personally taking down an invading military, and assassinations are what I hear the most often

    The meme lords never fail to keep up with the times. I found out about this through a meme too, same go with that twit app becoming a letter and various celebrity deaths. If it wasn’t for memes, I don’t think I’d know what’s happening
