I don't think the family of Rep Steve Scalise and the families of those other wounded would agree with your assessment.

A competent rifleman with an AR and a Red Dot could have killed and wounded many more people in 2 minutes. This incompetent Libtard probably was firing a new rifle with unsighted-in iron sights, maybe for the first time.

Thank you Democrats, FakeNewsMedia, and Clinton

You attacked the Electoral College, you attacked the President Elect with baseless accusations, you trained people to instigate trouble during the campaign, on and on.

Approximately 66 shots as near as I could count.

I had about the same count, although a few of those sounded like more than one shot at the same time. Multiples could push the count to 69 or 70 after the recording started. Presumably there was some rapid shooting before that also.

"Just reported that both a rifle and pistol are now in the hands of the FBI."

I wonder when the FBI will report that they lost the weapons?

I tried to count the multiples as a single.

It could have been security and the perp firing at the same time. Sometimes standing by a wall could cause an echo effect, so I just erred on the side of one shot.

That could certainly be objected to.

Your comment about other shots prior to the start of the video would seem reasoned.

That was a lot more than a plinker. No wonder Scalise is in critical condition.

You wonder what the real goal was, in that he fired so many shots and yet didn’t advance on people and outright kill them.

It seems he could have taken out so may more.

Why didn’t he? Just plain strange.

Suicide by cop?

In Virginia for 2 weeks living in car.

He was an ASSASSIN. Inept, thankfully, but still an ASSASSIN.

Ultimately, he must have known that was coming. He may have been pinned down by the security detail.

No 3-round bursts. Those would be much faster than what’s heard.

Can't wait for Hannity tonight. This video is really breaking news on the internet.

He's the only guy on Fox I want to go to on this shooting plus the Trump/Comey/Mueller issues. He's fearless and has the most up-to-date info on what's happening on all the battle fronts.

Even Judge Napolitano appears compromised by the Morlock brothers now, and all this rest of the shows from the onset of the Specialists straight up to the start of Sean are disorganized babble, shouting and overtalking.

Was quite a few shots. One came whistling by him pretty close.

Reports that the FBI is now looking into all his internet friends, etc.

Thank God Comey's no longer in charge.

“Some real idiots walking around behind an open vehicle door, as though that would stop a bullet.”

That’s because these idiots have all been trained by Hollywood. Bullets just spark off cars—like 4th of July sparkerlers.

I hope that he’s removed from the voter rolls in IL. After this, it would be especially insulting if the sick bastard voted again due to fraud.

OH YES, Do you see a bill coming forward for personnel protection for Congress at taxpayers expense. Once they are protected, they will feel better about enacting more gun control

Hey GOP, where have you been for 8 years? Welcome to the party!
