It wasn’t “perfect,” unless you’re some jackass on the internet running your fool face.

Yup. Not to sound callous, but there are literally tens of millions of people in the US that could’ve delivered that shot. Ex military, hunters, and others who know basic rifle technique.

A typical deer rifle sight-in job wouldn’t even require holdover or windage at that range. And the assassin’s shot was noticeably off center, not that it helped Mr. Kirk :(

I would not call it “perfect”. But it was successfull.

It appears someone did a better job of thinking it out, planning, and putting it into operation than those who attempted to assassinate President Trump.

There are probably a few million people in the United States who have the skills to do this.

The number who have the motivation to do such an assassination is a very small percentage of that number. Most people want to keep the polity of the United States intact.

This did not require a “pro” but it did require some skills and planning.

Every Conservative speaker cannot afford a Presidential level of security.

I guess you could say that is was a very, very good shot because it brought about virtually instantaneous death. But I understand your point: if the correct approach is center mass, his shot was marginal, but very unlucky for Charlie.
