In the wake of the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, comedian and former host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, has called for a "no shooting policy" while discussing the incident on a recent show.

Stewart emphasized the distinction between the approach taken by news media and what he and his colleagues do during breaking news events like the attempted attacks on Trump's life. Recognizing the talent of producers, writers, and comedians involved in their work, Stewart emphasized the importance of staying true to what they do best. He expressed the belief that leaving coverage of such incidents to the actual news outlets, who excel in providing accurate and comprehensive reporting, would be the most effective approach.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris also addressed the incident, aiming to deescalate political tensions in their statements released on Sunday. Both leaders voiced concerns and acknowledged the need for improved security measures, as Trump has been targeted by gunmen twice this year.

The recent shooting occurred at the Trump International Golf Course, exactly two months after a separate assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw admitted that the Secret Service had "limited" ability to protect the former president at the golf course due to its layout and the presence of shrubbery providing cover for potential threats.

Unlike the first assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, which resulted in the fatal shooting of the assailant, authorities were able to apprehend the suspect involved in the Florida incident. Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was found unarmed, but a backpack, GoPro camera, and an AK-47-style rifle were discovered at the scene of the incident. Routh, described as "a little cuckoo" by a neighbor, was known to possess multiple firearms, causing fear among those who lived near him.

In response to these events, President Biden made remarks on Monday acknowledging the Secret Service's need for additional support from Congress. Highlighting the importance of responding to their security requirements, Biden's statement outlined the necessity of addressing the evolving threats faced by former presidents.

Ryan Wesley Routh appeared in federal court with his hands and feet in shackles, just a day after the failed assassination attempt. He faces charges related to the possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Routh's demeanor during his courtroom appearance raised eyebrows, as he was seen smiling and laughing.

The incident has served as a reminder of the potential dangers faced by public figures and the need for enhanced security measures. Jon Stewart's call for a "no shooting policy" signifies a plea for a peaceful and nonviolent approach to political discourse and the safeguarding of individuals in positions of power.

As investigations into the incident continue, it remains to be seen what further actions will be taken to ensure the safety of public figures and prevent future attempts on their lives.
