No we ask how is he still alive. At that range if they meant to kill him he should be dead. THAT is what 2A means.
We can only assume they didn't mean to kill him and it was a sacrificial political stunt.
It should have been asked on the last attempt.
No. And, I'm disappointed so many blindly believed.
The initial information was 200-300 yards. A good shooter with range ammo (medium quality) and a decent rifle will shoot about 2 MOA or "minutes of angle" accuracy. A better shooter with better ammo and rifle will shoot about 1.5 MOA.
The math conveniently works out such that 1 MOA is 1 inch at 100 yards. At 1 MOA and 100 yards range, the distance from the furthest spaced rounds in a small number of rounds will be 1 inch.
At 300 yards 1.5 MOA is 4.5 inches. At 200 yards it's 3 inches. At 300 it'd take three shots to be sure. At 200 it's a likely one shot kill.
The news of 200-300 yards was intentional uncertainty. We sheep aren't to know the actual risk to Trump's life.
Wtf is a yard?
3 feet. Roughly a meter.
Thanks!
A yard slightly less than a meter. So 500 yards is 457 meters.
it would've been so cool if they just set 1 meter to 1 yard
