Our soft underbelly exposed.

In this regard, an expert marksman could do a catastrophic amount of damage.

This was done at the same time as the Boston marathon bombing.

“Shooters armed with assault rifles.”
Oh really? I guess everything is an assault rifle nowadays.

It’s a no win situation. America is huge, can’t protect it all.

Now that they've decided that the can get away with confiscating deer rifles, this practically unreported incident from last April (the day after income tax day!) is suddenly news again.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

Just another isolated incident. Move on along, there is nothing to see here.

In this regard, an expert marksman could do a catastrophic amount of damage.Especially since the marksman does not have to worry about return fire from transformers.

Months after the shooting, the bureau has named no suspects.Sound familiar? IRS, Benghazi, "...not a smidgeon of corruption.......

The key isn’t really the marksmanship, it is in knowing where that shot has to land.

Notice the urgency to use the words "assault rifles" and "semi-automatic rifles" with no proof of the assertion. A more effective attack could be mounted with simple bolt action rifles. Anything from a 30-06 to 50BMG with careful placement would be more effective.
The transformers on which we rely are poorly secured, very expensive and have lead times of a year. Annual production is about 100 units worldwide.

Yeah, shooting the equipment with a >1 year lead time is different than shooting the off-the-shelf items.
