The appalling assassination attempt on former president and current candidate Donald Trump has been dominating the news cycle. By now you have probably seen pictures and videos of that event. One of our own, Pete, wrote a very good article covering the security situation and looking at this event from the perspective of a former Secret Service agent. This article is not going to opine on those matters, but we will look at the guns and gear of the United States Secret Service (USSS) from the events of July 13th.Before we get into those details, there is a bit of a disclaimer we need to share. This article is based on research and looking in detail at the few high-quality images (and a ton of low-quality ones) available of these law enforcement officers. I may not get these picks 100% right, so feel free to drop
