New keyword from the media. A “long-range” shot from “outside the perimeter”

SS should have had agents or eyes on every rooftop within a thousand yards of that stage. To pretend that this dude would have been hard to spot while spectators are literally on the ground right next to him trying to alert law enforcement.

I’m sorry but my BS meter is going way tf off.

You’re right. It was a freaking meat shot.


It’s a common shot for a hunter.

That scene was basically securing a small high school campus and they failed to do it.

Nope. Most deer hunters can hit these shots with high frequency.

Good point. That’s standard sighting distance for the vast majority of everyone who’s ever hunted an animal with a rifle.

It’s nothing, I shoot well over 2000 meters well below sub MOA, Trump is dang lucky to be alive, as that distance it nothing for any rifle

Me @ 100 yards with iron sights. That was my first target after not shooting for a couple years.

Just the media showing their typical dumbassery when it comes to anything closely resembling firearms.

Nothing new.

My 9 year old could ring targets from 100 yards when he was 7.

I wasn’t allowed to hunt for deer until I could put rounds on target consistently at 100 yards. Without a scope.

I was 10 when I met that requirement.

This guy had a semi automatic rifle with a scope. If rifle shots were basketball shots this would be a layup.

100 yards is iron sights distance.

Cenk Uyger from TYT claimed it was a BB gun at first.

Trump is damn lucky. Shooting Trump and knowing you are going to die have to add a huge level of nervousness to this shot. Also the people hollering next to the building may have made him more nervous and rush the shot

To be fair, if you don’t know shite about guns or using them (like me) you might consider that long range. Guys on here are talking about being able to shoot a golf ball from that far away and further, that is absurdly impressive to the lay person.

A seasoned hunter can drive tacks at 100yds. Good thing the POS was a shite shooter. Inches from death.

It kind of is. I feel like it gets the point across that it wasn’t a short range pistol attack.

Hitting a plate sized object from 100 yards is childs play. At 500 yards it would be a decent shot.

It’s a wide open shot on Trump and there are no obstructions on the roof top. Trump is on an elevated stage to make him an easier target.

Trump also turned his head right before the shot tightening the target just enough or that bullet goes right into the back part of his skull.
