What are talking about? Reason of insanity is still a defense against murder in US. This had no impact on it at all
But it wasn't a reason against the President. Why did they have to remove it when it was targeted against Reagan. If that is the case the attack on the Capitol were done by mad people.
But do you know how many people that want to kill Buhari here.

Not guilty by reason of insanity? I don't see that tenable in this current dispensation.

Abi oo! If he was insane, why the president? Why did he not commit suicide 'by reason of insanity'?
He should be happy he wasn't a Nigerian and didn't do such in Nigeria. He would have gone to tell God directly that he shot the president by reason of insanity

I don't know what u r saying. Not guilty by reason of insanity was used by Hinckley and remains the law till date. The shooting had no impact on the law whatsoever. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!!

Reason why most President moves with tones of cars...
it didn’t just start in his time,In the course of the history of the United States four Presidents have been assassinated, within less than 100 years, beginning with Abraham Lincoln in 1865. Attempts were also made on the lives of two other Presidents, one President-elect, and one ex-President.

Reason for insanity was amended because of an assassination attempt against the President. It's still a Law till date like you said but they shouldn't have amended it. If the failed assassination was against an ordinary person will the Congress and some U.S. states adopt laws limiting use of the insanity defense ?
No they will still argue and make speeches and debate

Fun fact: Cristiano Ronaldo was named after Ronald Reagan because his father was such a huge fan of the former US president.

MrMacinterchi1:

was his death because of the shot ?

But he died Na.... Or is he still alive?
That he lived for more 2 decades before he died is not enough to rule out the shots from contributing to his death.

Happy Sunday!

Probably he would have lived longer without the gun shot. Just maybe.
Like hunger, no one dies of hunger, but it can lead to other severe sicknesses like ulcer.

On March 30, 1981, United States President Ronald Reagan was shot and wounded by John Hinckley Jr. in Washington, D.C. as he was returning to his limousine after a speaking engagement at the Washington Hilton Hotel.


President Ronald Reagan waves to the crowd immediately before being shot outside the Washington Hilton Hotel on March 30, 1981.

White House Press Secretary James Brady and District of Columbia police officer Thomas Delahanty lie wounded on the ground after John Hinckley Jr. fired six shots at President.

Bump.
March 30, 1981. I remember that day just like yesterday. We all thought Ronald Reagan would not survive the gun shots. Glad he made it out of danger zone with an efficient health system.
