DENVER — On Sunday evening, President Joe Biden addressed the nation and called for unity following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump while at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
“We can't allow this violence to be normalized," Biden said. “Disagreement is inevitable in American democracy. It's part of human nature, but politics must never be a literal battlefield, God forbid, a killing field. I believe politics ought to be an arena for peaceful debate, to pursue justice, to make decisions guided by the Declaration of Independence.
State Representative Ryan Armagost, a Republican running for re-election in the Colorado House of Representatives, also agreed with the theme of Biden's speech. "Nobody signs up to be shot," Armagost said. “We don't have funding that provides us our own security details. We have no way of defending ourselves. It is scary. Obviously, I'm going to be armed everywhere I go, regardless. I'm retired law enforcement, retired military, but I have a concealed carry permit. I carry where I go.”
