Because of the level of Hate against Trump, people will be surprised if he gets the full sentence.
Can you imagine the uproar if someone tried this against Hillary? They would be screaming for a ban on the assault weapon that was not involved at all.

It’s a bad optic. They will wish it into the corn field and he’ll get community service.

What this nation needs is common sense Democrat control.

(Or is he a GOP #Nevertrump-er? In which case we need common sense GOP #Nevertrump-er control.)

Authorities: Man at Vegas rally said he wanted to kill Trump

Updated 59 minutes ago

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A federal officer says a man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer’s gun so he could kill the candidate.

A complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds.

It cites a report by Special Agent Swierkowski, whose first name was not included, saying Sandford told officers he drove from California to kill Trump and went to a Las Vegas gun range the day before to learn to shoot.

Sandford later went to a Trump rally at the Treasure Island Casino and approached a Las Vegas police officer to say he wanted an autograph from Trump.

The report says Sandford was arrested after grabbing the handle of an officer’s gun in an attempt to remove it.

It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney. Las Vegas police say Sandford is 19.

Why can’t these alienated youths be like Kurt Cobain, and just kill themselves.

All those hourly spewing anti-Trump venom, including 0bama, Clinton, Sanders, Warren, and a host of talking heads on TV should be held responsible for all the violence taking place, including this incident.

Shouldn't that charge be attempted murder?
