Man at Vegas Rally Said He Wanted to Kill Trump, Feds Say
by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — 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.

8. In a strange twisted way this PROVES how gun restrictions would be positive

think about it, he had to goto a range to learn how to shoot, then he needed to FIND a gun to use.
He then got caught.
no one was harmed, maimed, or killed in any of this transaction.
or am I the only one who sees the positive side of this story?

Trying to stop the reign of Der fuhrer.

Seriously though, I think the kids kinda crazy. It's a shame he'd throw his life away like that. So young. Serious mental issues there.

15. If he were a time traveler...

he'd have been more experienced in firing a weapon. Weird universe where Trump is president.

OK. yes I am. Violence isn't the answer, but a person can have a wicked fantasy right?
