I didn’t realize that Kevin Keller was so influential that attempts on his life would be considered “assassinations” - i mean c’mon, we ain’t talking Richie Rich here....
According to the article, the "married" ex-soldier has "become" a Senator pushing a gun control agenda.
His "stalker" (identified as such in the article) can't be a random act of violence or robbery gone wrong.
Nope, it's someone politically opposed to what he stands for (the gay, the gay military, the gay marriage, and/or the gun control).
Archie Comics is painting a picture (caricature) of their political opposition. Hmmm. That doesn't celebrate diversity of ideas.
Maybe they meant "assignation", and Archie took one for the team...
