Trump probably shot at a rally -- Still a jerk

[cytg111]

He got within 500meters ...

So what you're telling me is that anyone who can work reliable at 1000m could take out a former president "at will"?

Is this another SS fail?

I know a barrel, stock, trigger, scope, rail, grip, firing pin, etc but what's a gun barrow?

Something you carry in a wheelbarrel.

Pics from the scene show a scoped SKS in a synthetic stock with an extended mag. Bubba special.

If the barrow-wight had a barrow gun, the obnoxious, trespassing hobbitses would have been wight dead.

So...almost any graduate of USMC boot camp? (200, 300, 500 meters is standard)

He was apparently a big supporter of Vivek Ramalamadingdong and Nickelback Haley.

Too soon?

Does anybody even care about this at this point?

Death is a kind of prison.

Death is a kind of prison.

If there is an afterlife and he goes to hell. Then yes

 

[BoomerD]

What kind of moron plans a shooting at 300+ meters using a scoped AK-47? 300-350 meters is the average effective range for those. A scope is about worthless at that range.

Believe me I get it. He’s a piece of shit asshole and he should lose this election. It shouldn’t even be close. But political violence has no place in a free democracy.

If this was done by someone on the left, it will only help Trump. We’re just now seeing a post debate bounce for Harris. This could neutralize it. Also it could lead to retaliation with someone trying to fire at Biden or Harris.

Point is he needs to be beaten at the ballot box. And it needs to be decisive for the GOP to rid themselves of this MAGA cancer.

trump is the most vile, disgusting, hateful and evil person we have ever had to run for POTUS so this is new territory. No other president or person running for president has ever acted like trump. Some people say you reap what you sow.

not this way. not at this time. I think his assassination would really spark some true nut fury in certain parts of the country.

I think it would be....less than good.

Irons on both the SKS and AK are not great and increasingly useless past 200M so anything helps. Neither would be my choice for 300M+

The speculation is he was waiting for them to finish the 6th hole and teeing up at the 7th. Would be a far closer shot.

 

[NWRMidnight]

Hmm SS shot first. But if he saw the gun barrow sticking out from the bushes, why not attempt to trap him instead of shooting first?

I find it interesting that the claim is the barrel was sticking from the bushes, but the picture of where they found the gun, backpack, go pro, etc was of a chain link fence with no real bush around it.

There is an advance SS Agent assigned to check one hole ahead of the protectee to clear it before they arrive. That is when the agent saw the gun barrel poking through the chain link fence and fired at the assassin. Trump was shoved into a golf cart and whisked away to safety.

 

[sandorski]

What are Gun Sales doing these days? Wouldn't be surprised to see a bump.

 

[Indus]

Too bad they didn't run him over with the golf cart.. since they can't seem to do much correctly these days.

 

[BoomerD]

Not supporting the idea of assassinating political candidates, but dammit...if these idiots are going to shoot at Trump...I kind of wish they'd git er done right instead of feeding his legend...and giving him bumps in the polls.

Take with a large grain of salt.

Interesting the SS said they don’t like open air events in open carry states

Best protected people in the country and they still can’t shield from gun violence.

What does that say all you 2A absolutists?

Take with a large grain of salt.

Why not? These same people tried to kill Pence. They need better aim
