Or again, a mortar.

It's this magical method of throwing bombs really long distance and there's all these calculations you can do to figure out where the bomb is going to go.

Seriously the idea that it's ability that stops political leaders getting murdered is grossly misunderstanding that most people simply do not want to do it.

Anymore, you're also somewhat signing your own death warrant. Nice predictable arcs of fire lead you to getting a round dropped back on you unless you move after firing, which is not always obvious to the insurgent.

I somehow doubt that most western nations are equipped for or inclined towards employing counter-battery fire in their cities.

If people start dropping mortars on politicians, they'd do it in a second, and be absolutely justified in doing so. The reason people don't do it is it would work well exactly once, and after that i would be your rear end too at a minimum.
