And it needs to be grusome - not “leathal injection.” Bring back “ol sparky,” the gas chamber, and the gallows. Make execution open to the public. Sell tickets to the events, so that Americans mayy once again see what true justice looks like.

In the U.S., you could purchase saltpeter over the counter, at any pharmacy. Don’t know if that is still the case. Have not made gun powder since I was a teen.

Not necessarily- pollution and other issues are so bad in Asia that long before COVID-19, people routinely masked up on bad pollution days, or if they felt ill.

See my reply above. Masks were common in Japan and much of Asia long before COVID-19 appeared.

WOW! That video pretty much shows both shots fired and how fast they took the gunman down.

Public Safety Tip: NEVER EVER cut open a Estes model rocket engine, and throw a match on the exposed contents when you are looking down over the thing. I had the experience of singed eyebrows and hair to confirm this warning.

Improvised double-barrelled weapon made from pipe, tape, wood and electrical firing components.

It's disgusting that almost every story is referring to this as an attack or being shot instead of an assassination.

Yet by then we won’t be recognizable as the USA anymore. Why even care about foreign affairs when you have a crisis in your own country?

Besides I don’t agree with your internationalist outlook anyway. There is little evidence WW1 or WW2 for examples had anything to do with us looking after ourselves first and trying to trade with all friendly countries, keeping a neutral stance. Both wars were well, well underway before we got involved.

There is as much evidence the US getting involved in every countries dispute actually does lead to more war. Take Syria for example and the Arab Spring Uprising partially started by Hillary and Obama that created ongoing civil war there as well as the mess Libya became as well as nearly a civil war in Egypt.

WW1 for example we had no more excuse to join in on the Allied Side than we did the central powers. The sinking of The Lusitania for example was a direct result of us choosing one side and supplying them with weapons and other supplies.

The Ron Paul’s have it right not the Bushes and Cheneys/ Clinton’s.

And this article from MSM source even:

Multiple handmade guns were seized from the apartment of the suspect arrested in the assassination of Shinzo Abe, Japan’s former prime minister, the police in the city of Nara said.

It does look like the first shot missed. The second shot can be seen lifting his right collar.

Rumble: Shinzo Abe Japan's former prime minister shot when he was speaking public. Assassination

I don’t understand that either. Even in the Japanese press it is both a “shooting incident” and assassination.

Biden’s talking heads will immediately tell him to call for more gun laws here in Amerika because of this!!! It had to be some red necked hillbilly from Tin-nor-see who shot him. Not one of those really nice Kamikazes dive bomber pilots.

Cowardly shot in the back with two shot gun rounds.

Did the erp act alone or were the Norkies or Chinese involved. Abe was very effective against both.

I used to glue the fins right onto the motor.
Made some rocket cars as well.
Never though to cut one open though...
