I personally don't think that politicians should be given elaborate security details. Their performance or lack of performance should determine how safe they are from the populace they're tasked with serving.

Ehhh, with a large enough population you’re bound to find someone crazy enough to do it for no reason at all.

Rather have an assassination problem than a school shooter problem. If we let those crazy people shoot the president instead of a school, they can work out their hatred of humanity without harming anyone important.

Oh absolutely! Making politicians fear gun violence at a personal level is the only way to enact actual gun control policies.

Drag has a point, I bet gun control laws would follow quickly.
