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.
Oh. 22lr is perfectly lethal, even at range.
agreed but there are more lethal rifles that could easily make that shot. Somebody screwed up, maybe an accident or intentionally.
