There is supposedly a large percentage of gun owners, who one could imagine believe in 2A rights, that are not even registered to vote. So they are not even casting ballots. There is at least one Trump supporter in BBS land (who posts frequently on Dovenet) who recently bragged about not being registered to vote.

That's a good point, but are the Democrats really trying to take our guns?

More so than Republicans, supposedly. Chicago is a Democrat party
stronghold and they have strict restrictions. I think your own home state is/was considering bans and restrictions.

That said, the RNC has removed most 2A language (and all language regarding
a national abortion ban) from their official platform. They did so, at the behest of the Trump team, just prior to the beginning of the convention, and just prior to the Trump shooting.

Then I saw another video where some other officers of some sort were
walking over by the building where the shooter was, and people were telling them that there was somebody on the roof, and the officers acted like they didn't care. Which police department or security company was that?

I saw that one. You cannot tell whether or not it was before or after the shooting. Since there are no shots being fired, I would assume it was
after but who knows.

There is also a video out there that is nothing but sound and pictures of
the ground and sky that some attendee claims is his/her "proof" of some conspiracy against Trump.

If so many rallygoers saw a gunman beforehand, why weren't any of them
yelling at Trump to get off stage? Or were they in on it, too?

"The Democrat party tried to kill Trump" is just as bad as the conspiracy
theory that "there was no shooter (or there was and he was a MAGA martyr) and the Trump team faked it all." If they were trying to kill him, they really goofed when they shot the shooter dead.

They probably saw this nutty kid coming, and instead of stopping him, they gav
him a chance to do the Democrats' dirty work.

Again, if they were trying to "kill Trump," why did they shoot the shooter
dead before he could kill Trump?

There is no real conspiracy theory that holds water here. All the shooter managed to do was galvinize Trump's base and give him more momentum.

As Ron says, it hurt the Democrats a lot more than Trump.

Democrats in my state made some changes pertaining to who can buy a gun, but I didn't hear anyone complaining about it. I think we're more riled up about other stuff.

I will revisit this thread with a link to the video when I find it..
But I thought it showed the gunman alive and on top of the roof, followed by a woman shouting to officers that there's "someone on the roof," (after we just saw him alive and on the roof.)

If so many rallygoers saw a gunman beforehand, why weren't any of them yelling at Trump to get off stage? Or were they in on it, too?

In the video, it's just a lady who saw the guy on the roof, but this lady was close to the gunman and far away from the president.
