The justices of the supreme court ruled that Trump was immune and effectively above the law while being president. What is now stopping Biden from bringing a gun to the next debate?

If inciting an insurrection towards their own government is an action without legal repercussions, I don't see how the law would be less lenient about straight up firing a gun at an opponent.
I by no means want any party to resolve to violent tactics. So even though I play with the thought, I really don't want anything like it to happen. I am just curious if it's actually the case that a sitting president has now effectively a licence to kill.
What am I missing?

Because what they really did was set themselves up as the ones who decide what is and isn't an official act.
As long as there is a right-wing supreme court, any action by a republican president will be official and immune, but if a democratic president tried to throw their weight around in the same... They'll get shut down.

Simply replace the SC judges in an official act.

Wait, maybe the justices just gave Biden the authority to do just that.
...
Naw. See, if he did, that'd delegitimize the presidency and cause a constitutional crisis.
But, if a Republican President does it, it's an exercise in upholding American freedom and the true authority of the office. See the difference?

I would rather have the presidency delegitimized than take the gamble.

The SC will seem that an unofficial act... Got to jail

That’s the perfect! That’s why we nominate someone of Bidens age. Not only can he get away with it now as an “official act” but by the time the next court rules on it, he’ll be long gone

That presumes there's still a
SCOTUSStar Chamber to rule on the issue...
