Raskin's statements have sparked controversy, with critics accusing him of using the incident to push a political agenda on gun control. The hearing, intended to address the security threat against Trump, was overshadowed by debates on gun legislation. Several individuals expressed outrage over Raskin's focus on gun control rather than the assassination attempt itself. The Secret Service director was also involved in the discussions, and there were comments about the potential impact of a high caliper hunting rifle.
