The assassination attempt against Trump didn’t change the GOP’s deadly gun politics.
The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee is a sprawling affair. Its fenced security zone encompasses not only Fiserv Forum, home to the NBA’s Bucks and the main convention stage, but several blocks passing pubs and a designated “media row” down to the Baird expo center. An outdoor space here has been designated as “ConventionFest,” where delegates can grab a beer and cheese curds; visit vendor booths; check out a four piece polka band; or enter to win a Daniel Defense assault rifle.
To get MAGA conventioneers extra interested in its membership, the group is promoting a giveaway for an AR-15 manufactured by Daniel Defense. Daniel Defense rifles are infamous for not being used in self-defense scenarios. The Uvalde school shooterAn AR-15 was also used in the assassination attempt against Trump at the rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. The exact model used by the gunman has not been made public.
The Patriot Mobile vendor — a gentleman in mirrored sunglasses and an unruly ZZ Top beard — said he’d been using the prop for years. But after this weekend’s shooting, he had doctored the cutout with a red marker — to memorialize Trump’s bloodied ear.
