Interesting. Some states don't consider a black-powder weapon a firearm. An armed felon could attend a rally, and be home-free.
OTOH, it could intense lighting for the cameras.

Could be, but I don’t think so - not much in the way of lighting other than what you see on a street at night:

Mace
I don’t believe it was black power firearm. But it’s a good possibility the victim just a half a second prior to being shot, sprayed something towards the shooter/murderer.
There was NO “smoke”. The “smoke” was not SHOT, but FLOWED rather, FROM the victim TOWARD the shooter. It was probably bear spray, or mace. The “report” of the shots was too crisp, and too loud, for it to have been a black powder arm, and the shots were in such rapid succession that only “FANNING” could have achieved it, which is a ridiculous technique. Anyway, that’s IMHO, based on a lifetime of watching movies...and some other experiences, here and there.
