I’m not a gun guy and I’ve been lazy (I only read the very short article) but to me it seems like a 10/10 “What the fuck were they thinking?” screw up by the Secret Service.
Sniper shot at former President Donald Trump from 130 yards away on roof of manufacturing plant
130 yards?!! The fuck was he using a snub nosed revolver, how you miss at that range?
He likely didn’t adjust for elevation and windage. He likely had the crosshairs exactly lined up where wanted but was too inexperienced or in too much of a rush to properly adjust
you really shouldn’t need to adjust for 120 meters beyond setting up your sights for 100 meters then aiming ever so slightly above it. Like unless you’ve literally got zero weapons experience to know how to put the apple on the post, in which case why are you trying to assasssinate a politician, any shooter should know the most basics of basics of firearm usage
Judging by photos that caught the bullets in flight the shots were at the correct height. The shoot missed to the sides of the target not up/down. Genuine incompetence.
Lack of trigger discipline then. I sentence him to more range time in hell.

It’s not that much of a jump tbh

If you’re ideologically committed enough to get to that point your dork ass is probably tripping on adrenaline
Trump was apparently moving around quite a bit when they fired.
Sounds like they should’ve put the neck as the apple on the post instead of the head. but I’m not someone planning on doing something as asinine as trying to shoot a politician.
big waste of your life fr. and theres a chance you turn it into a whole shitshow and die anyways
Well I plan on living a nice long life with as minimal shitshows occurring and giving uncle death a run for his money
yeah i need to survive long enough to see the aliens come down from the stars and bring us communism
I’ll be happy building back at least to the level of what we lost in the communist movement from the the government’s red purges and the liquidationists in cpusa
I want to see China push the Communism button.

Can you remove this tracking bit of the url
done
I never know which bit to cut out
I got the amp part out but missed that
I have to get bullied constantly in the mod mailbox to learn the technical details of link safety, something I’m thankful for but still find very humorous
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The pro-Bernie shooter used an SKS and had zero weapons training lol
Not at that range, shaky hands and all an average shooter can hit center mass with a heavy crosswind. Just saw a former secret service counter sniper say at that range hitting your target is “a given”. Straight up skill issue.
no more half measures walter
