“...We all stand behind Alec Baldwin.
It’s a LOT safer than standing in front of him.” [JusPasenThru, post 94]
Good advice.
But we ought not trust Alec’s effectiveness here, as a bullet trap. 45 Colt reigned unchallenged for decades, as the most powerful revolver cartridge ever made in the USA.
And that was in its original low-pressure black powder loading. Standard velocity rounds still hold their own quite respectably, against much modern stuff.
Trump reasonably could have feared for his life when Kathy Griffin poseted a meme of his bloody severed head, and when Madonna said she had thought of blowing up the White House, and when 30 FBI agents raided his home. He wishes he was a safe as Alec Baldwin. And unlike Baldwin and Dick Cheney and Michael Byrd, he never shot anyone is the face.
