Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme, a Charles Manson disciple and just generally a nutty person attempted to assassinate Gerald Ford with a Colt .45, but was unaware at the time that she would have to pull back the gun slide to get a cartridge in the chamber, thus the gun just clicked when she pulled the trigger for the first shot and she was taken down by Secret Service agents.

What if she HAD known that? Or had used a different type of gun and successfully shot and killed Gerald Ford?

What would the ramifications of this have been?
