Quoted: So, let’s say this was off the shelf steel cased import 7.62x39 ammo. You are crushing 200, let alone 300 yard shots of 2MOA or 1.3MOA with, generously, 3 MOa ammo? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Aw jeez, not this sheeit again. 500 yards is a very difficult shot for 99% of the general population and even regular shooters can't say it's easy. Most shooters can't even practice at 300 yards, let alone 500. I've got a 200 yard range and feel lucky to have it as a resource. Lots of guys I know are limited to 100. Where the fuck are some of you guys getting this fantasy shit about "even random people off the street can hit an apple at 200-300 yards?" Seriously, where the fuck do you live? Snipersville, USA? 200-300 yards is not hard with proper info entered into a ballistic calculator and a rifle that has been zeroed correctly. At those ranges I can hit a 4" circle quite easily. IMO 200 yards is a gimme. 500 isn't that hard either(depends on the target size, but I don't have any trouble on a 10x10 plate) with a decent rifle and optic that isn't total shit. Yes, it takes a bit of practice to be half-ass at it(which is what I am). No, it isn't some extraordinary skillset. Yes, having access to a range with those distances(I do) also helps. I am by no means a good PRL shooter, in fact I'd say I'm below average. Lots of guys smoke me. It isn’t hard…if you know what you’re doing. My son started shooting prs with me when he was 15 & connects with targets out to 1k modestly reliably. But at the same time I’ve been to plenty of HTF shoots and CWs and watched arfcommers dump magazines at targets at 100 and never connect. So I think it’s pretty fair to say that 300 isn’t a chip shot for the average shooter. So, let’s say this was off the shelf steel cased import 7.62x39 ammo. You are crushing 200, let alone 300 yard shots of 2MOA or 1.3MOA with, generously, 3 MOa ammo? The plan here was (probably) to get Trump when he was on the green. This was going to be a 50 yards or less shot. IDK why everyone is debating the finer points of 7.62x39 at 300 yards. Obviously the SS walking one hole in advance blew his cover and his plan went to shit once shots were fired. It's possible the shooter wouldn't be able to see Trump from his vantage point until he was danger close. I don’t believe it's a given this guy was trying to pull a Mark Wahlberg on a can of stew. |

Quoted: Serious question. Does Trump wear some sort of plates or at least soft armor whenever he is in public? Because if not, he should. View Quote yeah...I don't think anyone is going to convince Trump to wear body armor when he is out trying to set a new course record on his golf course. |

Quoted: After all that has happened, why would you think the Cabal wouldn't be prepared to kill ANYONE to keep their stranglehold on power? They seem determined to start WWII via Ukraine and President Trump would stand in the way.

Quoted: No kidding. But that's how these things go. Some people need to find a conspriacy in everything. Some deranged whackjob leftist decided he wanted to try and kill the president. Thankfully the SS and local police did their job, and the suspect will spend the rest of his life in prison. I don't know why it needs to be more than that. View Quote Only it appears this golf outing was not a part of Trump's public schedule. An assassin needs to know where the target is going to be. Unless this bozo is just stalking random golf courses hoping Trump decides to play a round - not likely. The assassin obviously has some connections, and nearly the entire fedgov bureaucracy hates Trump. If this golf outing wasn't public knowledge, then someone leaked it to the shooter. |

Quoted: Won’t be happening. View Quote Nope, it won’t. If it is a Federal crime, which I suspect it is, the FBI will tell FDLE to get lost. If there is any cooperation it will be gracious, not mandated. On a different note, Bradshaw screwed up with his statement today. He said the road wasn’t covered/closed because it was a former president even though he (Bradshaw) admitted he knew the threat level was high. That is absolutely ridiculous especially considering the recent attempt. |

View Quote Kristol was one of the douchebags at a televised round table before Trump even won the nomination in 2016 slandering him and stating they had to stop him from getting the nomination. Krystol is and always has been a never Trumper dirtbag. He also backed McMuffin and the Stinkin’ Lincoln Project. |

View Quote 100% SKS. Saiga is an AK receiver with a goofy stock in import form. SKS has the stock cover much of the receiver. Look at how the door is mounted, stock, gas tube, front sight, all of it. No way to mistake it with an AK in any form. |

View Quote Ha…. I used to own a Norinco SKS in that synthetic stock with detachable mags, and I put a dust cover scope mount on it. That piece of shit wouldn’t feed more than 2 rounds before the mag would make it FTF. I think I paid $200 for it. I traded it in to KTP in Maine so I doubt it’s the same one the shooter had. That was a classic 2005 kind of bubba gun build |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: It seems like we've become as obsessed with identifying exactly what weapon crimes were committed with as the media. It looks to be a semi-auto that probably shoots a 7.62x39mm boolit, and it has some piece of crap scope on it that would have afforded a pretty accurate shot at the range fuckboy intended it to be used (25 - 30 yards). And why does it always have to be a CIA/FBI conspiracy? Isn't this guy being a Trump-hating nutjob enough? No kidding. But that's how these things go.

Thankfully the SS and local police did their job, and the suspect will spend the rest of his life in prison. I don't know why it needs to be more than that. I wonder. He never shot so unless he admits it, I wonder if they can really get him for an attempted assassination. Certainly will be some charges for sneaking around with the rifle in a prohibited area and sounds like felon in possession. But I wonder if they can make the case for more and prove it. It will be interested to see what charges he gets. |
