President Trump was shot on Saturday at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Firearms expert Larry Johnson confirmed to The Gateway Pundit:
** The shooter was likely outside the venue ** The shooter was on the right side of Trump ** This was not a pistol used by the shooter ** Likely a 22 Long Rifle – likely semiautomatic ** The 22 Long Rifle is effective up to 200 yards ** It appears no one else was shot on the stage ** The audience was looking to their right after the shots were fired. ** Bullet was in a deceleration range
THERE ARE REPORTS THE SHOOTER IS DOWN
President Trump is bleeding from his ear!!!
The crowd was absolutely massive
No way a 22 was used at 200 yards. A 22 magnum at 200 yards maybe, but the drop would be quite a bit and low impact force.
Ehhhh, tough to prove. I’m just gonna’ go with general bureaucratic incompetence for now.
I agree, took some planning.
Kinda wondering why there was no rooftop perimeter 200 yards out? The photos I saw on FB show an over weight wanna be( alleged).
A sniper in position to shoot the attempted assassin within seconds I would think would be in position to see and shoot the assassin before the assassin could fire a shot.
Roses are red
Violets is dead
My first thought talking to a friend on the phone!
Lost his head at the urging of some SS countersnipers
+111111

he is not out of danger yet
Worth looking in to.
Your wonderful banner photo (which is now aligned perfectly) presently graces my facebook page. THANK YOU!

....and, as predicted, here come the calls for gun control.
“Cowardly a gun man targets innocent people in an open space, NOT ACCEPTABLE! Here we are again! Another mass shooting in USA. Now political rally been target and it is unbearable to see innocent people been TERRORIZED when gathering in an open space. Too many shots at one time! We need to be UNITED to stop gun violence!”
.22 is very popular with assassins
but for close range kills
I wonder when Joey will hold a press conference about “my predecessor” nearly being assonated? “Shit happens man, no joke”.
Biden calls Trump rally shooting ‘sick,’ says ‘no place in America for this kind of violence’
He said he had tried to call Trump and hoped to speak with him soon.

“They caught the perp very quick, like they waited for him to shoot DT.
Then they shot the shooter. Hmmm”
≠================================
Not making excuses for the SS, because they SHOULD have secured all elevated areas but once the shooting started, of course the SS snipers did and should have taken out the shooter.
Should they have waited for someone to find a ladder and then attempt to tackle him on the roof?
They did what they could do to stop the shooter!
The SS takes its orders from the Biden Administration. The area of the shooter’s location was reportedly outside of the SS’s determination for required observation. One has to wonder who set the security perimeter and why it stopped short of a rooftop within shooting range of the podium.
I take no issue with Biden’s response. It was reasonable.
I’ve seen other leftists use this for a call for strict gun control, the f***tards.
