    I’m just making a guess here, but there could have been more attempts that were nippedl in the bud early enough that we have never heard of them, because the would-be assaains were sloppier and got caught.

      You’re correct. You’ll notice every president in recent history has multiple assassination attempts listed. The bulk of them don’t go very far.

      Oh I’m sure that’s the case. There are probably many attempts. Having said that, it’s shocking this is the only one in recent times that has gotten this close.

      I guess Bush had a shoe thrown at him though.
