watch the BBC interview
witness tried for 5 minutes to get the police or secret service to pay attention to the man crawling up the roof with a rifle
it is a very damning video

[laplata]

Yes, it did. Trump needs added security, including his airplane and whatever they can do about ground to air missiles.

[laplata]

Yes, that witness was very frustrated.

I can imagine there is a little acceleration for a few centimeters outside of the barrel but then it is all friction afterwards.

So many gun experts here why have none of them actually studied the lethality of the 22 long rifle, there are plenty of YouTube videos that will help you out.

By the way the 22 long rifle is the weapon of choice for deer poachers, even tho most states demand at least a 30/30 not even the M1 Carbine qualifies even tho there were many enemies killed by that weapon. When I went through basic training I think we had to at least fire every infantry weapon in service. I was even demanded to fire a rifle grenade, from the shoulder standing, that will make a man of you.

Sundry thoughts.

1) 200 yards is not an easy shot with a 22lr. The attempted assassin had some training on the weapon.

2) I couldn’t make that shot with my 1022. This weapon would have been an upscale one.

3) Chipman (ATF wannabe) did not consider a 22lr, even a semiauto, an assault weapon.

[Trailerpark Badass]

.22LR, lol? No.

[JusPasenThru]

Oh. 22lr is perfectly lethal, even at range.

[crusty old prospector]

I have an old rangefinder on one of mine. One day, I shot a coot at 200 yards. I must have aimed two feet over.

[McGavin999]

He may have stashed the rifle on the rooftop.

[SisterK]

within seconds. Almost like the sniper knew ahead of time where to shoot.

very telling

"Same thing Reagan was shot with."

Reagan was shot with a hand gun.

[McGavin999]

To be fair just heard on NewsMax that his SS has been asking to beef up security and assign additional staff and Biden’s Homeland security denied their request.

[SisterK]

yes
22LR is perfectly lethal

emergency room doctors hate that caliber

[JusPasenThru]

That sounds right. I fired away at an iron target at 225 yds and I felt like I was lobbing the shots in.

[SisterK]

He may have stashed the rifle on the rooftop.

nope
he was seen crawling up the roof with the rifle

[itsahoot]

Some guy on YouTube did long range test on a ham with multiple layers of clothing on it, yep lethal way further than the purists want to admit. It is one multi-purpose weapon that I wouldn’t be without. It can kill any animal in North America by a good hunter and it is dirt cheap to own and fire. I have an M1 carbine for same reason but ammo for that is not dirt cheap, so get a 9 MM carbine for a little cheaper bang.

[HIDEK6]

That picture was posed.

Pushing up daisies...

[okkev68]

agreed but there are more lethal rifles that could easily make that shot. Somebody screwed up, maybe an accident or intentionally.
