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?
They are calling it an AR style rifle Others have said it sounded like a 22 LR. But there are several companies who make an AR id 22 LR only caliber.
This wasn’t a serious feat of marksmanship. Nerves would have been the biggest challenge. He scored a head-shot. And then the SS scored one.
A .22 makes a crack sound. It sounded more like a .223 round.
130 yard shot needs special training? Uhm...
An AR is just a platform. They are available in many calibers.
I wasn’t there and only heard what the microphones picked up.
Exactly. For my AR scope rifle, 150 yards is not a hard shot.

It looks like the SS snipers were watching him/her with orders to wait until he/she took a shot and then to take hem/her out. Only the shooter failed to assassinate Trump.
👍
Same here.
Secret Service put a man on a rooftop with a rifle.”
fixed it.
Hitting a torso-sized target at 140 - 160 yds with a .22LR pistol/revolver is very doable.

Every structure within 500 yards should have been cleared, locked down, and guarded from the rooftops to the ground.
It was a nonsensical stupid movie based on the book “Point Of Impact”by Steven Hunter (I’ve read all his books) - the movie made a mockery of the book in every way possible. Bob the Nailer would have done everything right. Bob the Nailer character was based loosely on the Vietnam sniper Carlos Hathcock. I’ve read this book dozens of times and the books written about Bob and his exploits.
I am thinking the same thing. You see lots of guys at the ranges with ARs shooting 50yd targets. They burn through the 223s quickly. I am not sure they understand what precision is.

Yes, indeed. But who would pick a 22LR to pull off this shot? I’d think it would be a rank amateur with little training and little practice. 130 yards would be a bit of a challenge for such a person, especially if the adrenaline is pumping.
As a disclaimer, I’ve read that the shooter used a 22LR. And that’s what I’m basing my remarks on. If it actually was another caliber, all bets are off.
How did he possibly get on that roof with a rifle?
Yes, they do. But this one didn’t.
