- On September 5, 1975, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a cult member of Charles Manson's Manson Family, attempted to assassinate United States President Gerald Ford in Sacramento, California. She wanted to make a statement to people who refused to halt environmental pollution and its effects on Air, Trees, Water, and Animals (ATWA). Although Fromme stood a little more than an arm's length from Ford that Friday morning and pointed a M1911 pistol at him in the public grounds of the California State Capitol building, she had not chambered a round, the gun did not fire, and no one was injured. After the assassination attempt, Ford continued to walk to the California state house, where he met with California governor Jerry Brown. For her crime, Fromme spent 34 years in prison and was released on August 14, 2009 - two years and seven months after Ford's death. The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan, later received the M1911 pistol used in the assassination attempt as a gift, and the gun was put on display.

President Ford acted more curious than anything after the shot. It's sad when a person serves their country regardless of political party to face this. May God Bless those who serve our country in all capacities.
Gotta love it when coverage of an assassination attempt is sponsored by an aspirin.
Busted out laughing when you said that LOL.
6:54 BANG!
2:33 it was not ah an expensive weapon from the sound of it, it was ahh... Just Ah Cheap One 😂😂😂
6:53 American politics came very close to being altered forever.
Also, 40 years later and gun control is still a huge problem in this country. How things change yet they stay the same.
Republicans arguing for gun control? Times sure have changed.
