I don’t believe the rifle was suppressed.
A supressor has no effect on the supersonic crack of the bullet.
Odd mistake for this gentleman to make.

They setup all this gear, pointed directly at the shooter, at every event? Call me sceptical.

Guy keeps calling the shooter a “gentleman.”

Probably a 338 Lapua. That is the preferred military sniper round currently.

Who are those guys, what agency? Their vest says “police”.

“They setup all this gear, pointed directly at the shooter, at every event? Call me sceptical.”

The Secret Service was told shortly before where the guy on the roof was by concerned people who spotted a person likely to be a shooter on a roof.

Initially a lot of people said it sounded like a .22, however, depending on audio quality it could also have been .223. It did not sound suppressed to me. If you have ever been to a military outdoor range, .223 is not that loud until you are in the butts pulling targets. The loud cracking sound occurs when the round passes you vice hearing it in the outdoors, 200 yards away. So it could be either .22 or .223. I saw one report today where the “expert” claimed it was .223 but had to admit he was not positive.

Even if it were .22, the range of 150 yards falls in the middle of its effective range. In the right hands modern .22 ammo is quite effective at 150 yards. I still suspect .223 because a single shot killed a woman whom the shooter was not aiming at. I am curious, at 130-150 yards would a .22 round still have the ability to penetrate bone, I would like to see ballistic tests on that. .223 would absolutely kill at 200 meters even to 300 meters which is the range we trained at when I was a Marine.

Either tactical Secret Service or DHS Force Protective Services, would be my guess. Every Federal law enforcement agencies have snipers.

I was at a speech overseas by the first President Bush. He spoke on the flight line. I was approached by a SS agent because my flight line access badge was not in English. They were issued by the host country. I did however carry my DOD ID in a clear case around my next. I needed that if stopped by coalition guards. The SS agent faced a hanger 200-300 yards away and held my card up for someone to read. There were five of us, he did that with each person. End of the speech, Bush leaves, snipers came out of drain culverts, the roof tops of every hanger near the site. The guys in the culvert had to be sick after, those culverts had water mixed with Turco, hydraulic fluid, jet fuels and oil. Point is everything was covered. The agent came over and talked to us after, as he did the sniper came over, it would have cost me a years wages for the scope on what appeared to be an M40. I guess that was before the SS became a DEI shitte show.

Kim Cheatle, the Cheetos Chick (she was previously just the security chick at Pepsi), has been cutting back on Trumps detail and she has been sending the trainees to cover him.

Unknown at present; Bongino pointing out this a.m. on Fox interview that SS sometimes uses their own personnel and sometimes local assets.

I have a match-grade .22 heavy barrel rifle. There is no sound whatsoever. The Army used this particular rifle to train snipers during and after WWII. The heavy barrel means no recoil, and it attenuates the sound. It does not matter what .22 ammo I use in it. Once on target, after you stay on target.
