They all need to continue their marksmanship training at the range and leave assassinations to the actual professionals with training. All of them missed center mass. Who the fuck aims for the tiny area of the head? That's rookie shit.

All of them? You mean one? I suppose Lee Harvey Oswald did too, but he hit his mark.
That dipshit also aimed for the head and shot JFK's neck and head. He got a lucky one-in-a-million hit.
Go shoot a rifle at the range yourself, instead of being ignorant. You will see how impossible it is to hit the head beyond 100 meters unless your optic was zeroed by an Olympic shooter. And let say even if your optic was precise enough to shoot the dick off a fly, you still need to understand shooting fundamentals to leverage the optics properly (sight-picture, breathing, cheek wield, etc)
I have shot a rifle at a range... I certainly wouldn't attempt to shoot at the head. You're ripping on Lee Harvey Oswald but just said he hit 2 out of 3 shots. Clearly he was just a good shot. So was the kid that shot Charlie Kirk. He might have actually been aiming center mass and just happened to hit the neck. Hell, all of them might have been aiming center mass and missed near the head.
I zero my rifle at 100 yards (91.94 meters). It's a 1/4 in MOA rife, so I am basically overlapping my shots. It is a precision rifle though..
Did you mean 1000 meters?
The US has a mental health crisis. Other nations have guns, hunting for sport and private firearm ownership - none have the problems with massacres that the US has.
I dunno about a crisis. But the US gives guns to people with mental health issues, almost no other country does that.
I think just because it's been happening for 30 years doesn't mean it's not a crisis. It's pretty messed up that our "normal" is to have school shooter drills like prairie states have tornado drills. Only one of those is an unpreventable natural occurrence.
That doesn't mean you have a mental health crisis.
It means you have a school shooting crisis, though. But I've never seen the data about mental health, and your comment doesn't have it either.
Did I miss one? Something more recent?
