If inciting an insurrection towards their own government is an action without legal repercussions, I don’t see how the law would be less lenient about straight up firing a gun at an opponent.

I by no means want any party to resolve to violent tactics. So even though I play with the thought, I really don’t want anything like it to happen. I am just curious if it’s actually the case that a sitting president has now effectively a licence to kill.

What am I missing?

    Except that the supremacy court gets to decide. You know, the court that has currently sitting members who are not even hiding their support for Trump. Acting like this is perfectly fine and not a full assault on our democracy means you are either intentionally trying to play down this act or you are a fool.
