> Biden even used the threatening phrase “putting Trump in the crosshairs”-—— meaning being aimed at by a gun, such as a rifle that has an aiming device with crosshairs.

Not to be overly pedantic.... :-) If that's the one I think you mean, Biden actually said:

"It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye."
Same general meaning, of course, except that "crosshairs" (what you described) are indeed a pair of orthoganal fine lines. A "bullseye" target is a set of concentric circles, with the center circle often being called "the bullseye". Some bullseye targets also have radiating lines, such as a dart board, but the center is a cicle.

I know, picky, picky....:-)

Are you always this anal? Or does it crop up on you every now and then?
