Shots fired at Trump Rally

You can tell who has fired a gun and who hasn't. Same people watch Walking Dead and think it's easy to make a head shot with a handgun first time every time.
It takes a lot of practice and a high quality firearm,center mass is still the way to go.I've watched professional competition shooters,shoot out bullseyes at 25 yards easily. They also had highly modified .45's probably costing 6-9k, snipers have the highest quality,rifles,scopes,ammo and training to take head shots when it's the best option to neutralize the threat instantly.

Just one bump on that scope climbing up the building he should have never had access to,would do it.

I want to know who helped him? How did he know that building wouldn't be guarded? How the hell does he get off any shots with two rifles pointed at him.

I'm sure everyone knew the locations of security.
 
Honestly? It was just my first thought when I saw the photo of him with his bloodied ear and his fist in the air. It’s an iconic historical moment. Reading social media today brings me a bit down to earth. The number of idiots in this world never ceases to amaze me. Particularly the number who think this was staged by Trump. Like you could plan to have a bullet from 150 yards away graze your ear but not kill you.
Yes honestly. Everything you said is true, but is it really the reason you believe he is now a shoo-in be president?
I hope you are right.
 
Admittedly I only have handguns, until they were lost when my fishing boat capsized, but when I started going to the range several years ago I'm standing perfectly still, controlled environment, lined the sight up perfectly, and at 30 yards I missed the entire target by three feet. I've since gotten better but Mrs. Burgundy is still more accurate than me.

A high quality handgun makes a world of difference even if you're a bad shot with a shaky hand,and plenty of practice. Being incredibly calm and breathing or not breathing when you shouldn't helps tremendously. I always out shoot my father and oldest son,and they go to the range much more than I do..lol.

Just going to a crowded outdoor range is a lot for some folks with hundreds of shots going off nonstop for hours. I think of it as the sound of freedom.

Again, it was just my immediate reaction in the moment. I don’t know. I’m still not sure who he’ll even be running against. Crazy times we are living in.
 
TBH I personally know three guys, two I grew up with and one is a little younger, who are so unhinged with TDS that if the news reported it was any one of them I wouldn't have been surprised.
The left are violent, run on emotion and the end justifies the means with them.

They truly believe they are just and noble,just like suicide bombers.
 
I don't know why I'm getting my blood pressure up. I mean, I fully expected it. But, between X, tic toc & face book, the number of idiots expressing sadness or disappointment that Trump wasn't killed is mind-boggling.
Where are the censors? Was it their day off?

You want them exposed for all to see what they really are.

What you won't see is the news covering that stuff. It would be all over if that was a Democrat candidate. They'd be on that **** hard.

It's free speech. I wouldn't want them censored. It's just disheartening to know people think this way.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if many of the posts on social media are foreign actors intent on causing more turmoil and destruction. We've seen it before. Unfortunately quite a few are also unhinged Americans.
 
The events yesterday seem so surreal and some very fishy. I fear this was just another move on the Big Club chessboard to set up something else....

There's a ton and I mean a ton of foreign agents on social media. The CCP had a ton of them whose sole purpose is to rile people up. They pretend to be both sides.

Divide&conquer.
 
All the MSM news outlets are making sure to mention that he was a registered Republican. True, who knows, but they are directing the narrative.
I bet he simply registered to vote in the Republican primary and voted for Haley to bump up the opposition numbers.

Agee, I was just alluding to the hypocrisy of conservative speech being censored and posters banned or suspended.
But apparently not anymore as evident by things being posted these days on social media. Some credit to Elon?
I don't do any social media.

That's exactly what he did and a lot of them do. His donating to blue whatever the hell shows that clearly.

Just another young person molded by media lies and violent rhetoric from politicians and Hollywood.
 
Yep. Sarge has 20+ years experience shooting a .226 or 5.56 from 100, 200, 300 yards. Most don't. The range in Arizona I used to attend - not to fire guns obviously since guns scare me - has a 200 yard area for shooting.

To hit from 150 yards, you need to be experienced. In the movies, when you line up a shot from 150 yards, the scope is as still as a picture and the reticle is perfectly aligned. In real life, the scope is jittering a millimeter here and there, and it looks like the reticle is dancing. Much, much harder than most think.

Sarge has simply done it for so long that it's like walking for him - he doesn't even need to think about it. Not true for all but the most experienced shooters.
These dips ***** think its like a video game...


That dude had perfect conditions, shot like six times and came close once.
 
I'm thinking about the building the shooter was able to crawl up on..It was so open, he was seen by a guy attending the rally and tried to point him out to police and secret service.

It's completely in the open and easily seen.It's not like he was shooting out of a window.

I'm sure security will be over the top from here on out,but damn they have to do better than that.
That's not an accident.

Also molded by the local university.

Exactly. If you all understood how much i disdain the republicans and far right it would probably amaze you, because my contempt for the far left is 50 times greater right now... they are as unhinged as it gets and are utterly unable to see it themselves
