all of this is so funny.
copycats are out in force, at least theyre not shooting at kids anymore
I'm sure a lot of people want to shoot Trump, so it's actually very considerate of the Trump shooters to both miss, preserving this scarce resource for other future shooters.
Funniest outcome is that it was an open carry chud that the Secret Sevice shot at, because the last time made them look bad so they're on edge. Guy will probably have an "I still love the truck" attitude
you reap what you sow.
I'm not mad, just disappointed.
😌
so what's the thought on the (alleged) shooter's twitter account?
Praying it's an Iranian sleeper agent revenge for Soleimani
Why was he even following the gunshots in his vicinity?
OK yeah. So I’m starting to think that these types keep missing because they have no strategy whatsoever and are probably working alone/not thinking clearly
I don't think he even shot, I think he was wandering around with a gun and the feds started blasting
Apparently this guy's strategy was to sit in a bush 500 meters away from Trump, and take potshots at him with an AK style assualt rifle with a crappy scope mounted on the top. You know, the kind of thing that only works in Call Of Duty videogames. I don't think he even got his first shots away.
Critical support to trophy hunters switching to vegan alternatives.
Praaaaaaxis!
Third time's the charm. I really want the next shooter to succeed with a hand-made weapon, just to ridicule the previous two assault rifle losers.
Officials believe an armed individual intended to target former President Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Club, according to sources briefed on the matter.
A person has been detained in connection to the incident at Trump International Golf Club on Sunday, according to a law enforcement source.
Secret Service fired at the suspect, according to multiple sources.
A long gun has been recovered, according to the source.
So some people are saying this is an SKS, which I can kinda see. Though I thought 20 rounders were the biggest SKS mag, and that mag looks a little big for that.
Edit: There’s 30rd SKS mags
