What would be the alternative

Shoot them

We're allowed to kill Abe Lincoln and JFK, why aren't we allowed to kill these guys? Why does Reagan get plot armor out of all the presidents? Who wrote this shit?

To be fair JFK getting shot was pretty epic though. He almost caused nuclear holocaust (although a more rabidly anti-communist president may have definitely caused nuclear holocaust), war crimed the South Vietnamese a ton, and stabilized Israel. RFK getting assassinated was less epic because that gave us Nixon

You have a very twisted view of the world. No one was "allowed" to shoot Abe Lincoln or JFK. It was very much not allowed, but murderers don't usually care about what's allowed and do it anyway.
