The text describes an assassination attempt on Andrew Jackson by Richard Lawrence whose guns both jammed, with the chance of this happening being 1 in 125,000.
The fact-checking results confirm several key aspects of the historical event involving Andrew Jackson and Richard Lawrence. It is established that Richard Lawrence did indeed attempt to assassinate Andrew Jackson, and both his guns misfired. This aspect is well-supported by multiple sources such as Smithsonian Magazine and official historical records. Furthermore, the claim that Andrew Jackson beat Lawrence with his cane is verified by credible sources including the U.S. Senate history records. However, the statistical claim regarding the probability of both guns jamming being 1 in 125,000 lacks specific evidence and thus remains uncertain. Overall, the material aligns with historical accounts except for the unsupported probability claim.
