130 yard shots don’t just happen

Posted on 07/13/2024 7:43:55 PM PDT by 7thOF7th

The assassin who tried to kill POTUS DJT had skills as evidenced by the grouping of shots he fired from 130 yards or more with an AR. Where did he get these skills and who helped prepare him for this?

And you’ve “seen” this grouping of shots?

I can shoot under 1/2 inch 5 shot group at that distance...probably with iron sights. Definitely with a scope.

130 yards is easy. I’m sure most everyone on this forum can hit something with an AR at 130. It’s not like you need to be a delta sniper to hit someone at 390 feet.

President Trump is very lucky

That was a perfectly placed headshot by the shooter

President Trump turned his head the instant the shooter pulled the trigger.

As it was, the shot only missed the side of Trumps skull by about a quarter of an inch

I’ve seen what a high velocity grazing shot can do in that area and it’s pretty gruesome.

This really was a divine intervention level event

You are correct. This might diminish rally attendance a bit.

95% of the guys at every match I go to could do it.

“the grouping of shots he fired from 130 yards or more with an AR”

Have they announced what the weapon was? The fact that people in the crowd thought it was a .22 (pop..pop..pop) but he shot a tight group at that range suggests a suppressed high-powered rifle and a guy with some skills.

A shame they killed him. He might have said something like, “I’m a patsy...”

This could be a completely different story tonight if Trump turned his head slightly. I have to think God was watching over him.

I’d guess dead dude wasn’t a pro - he failed to account for the wind, resulting in wild shots that hit attendees more than a yard from his target. Check the movement of the flags to the right of the stage and that of the crane-flag.

I think the movie was called Shooter.
It looks like a good number of people expect real life to mirror many of the things that occurred in that film.

What I’m beginning to think.

The FED HATES Trump. They’re trying to take him out.

Best area for an assassination?
Was there any particular reason?

Well, 130 yards with a scoped AR isn’t really all that huge of a deal. Actually hitting the target takes some skill, but I can tell you that a LOT of people can do it, with or without military training. 500 yards - now you’re pushing the envelope and it is considerably more complicated at that range.

“Skills”??????????

If the “130 yards” is accurate, I can state with absolute certainty that anyone else reading that sees the BS.

And I’ll forgo laying prone IN CONTRAST on a white roof in full view of spectators...

Heads are gonna roll at SS and local LEO. Sucks to be in any of those orgs tonight...

“Inside job. Secret Service ignored a man on a rooftop with a rifle.”
****************************************************

And if I remember correctly it was THE CLOSEST ROOFTOP TO THE STAGE WHERE TRUMP WAS SPEAKING. The CLOSEST rooftop.

130 yards is close, especially with a scope.
