Breaking news shots fired at trump rally

This one?

Yes

My dad bought me my first rifle.

And how many people have you tried to assassinate?

 

[DaBull]

Has it been said if charges will be brought against the shooter’s father? (e.g. straw man purchase as a minimum)

Is it a straw purchase if it is bought as a gift? Now, if the shooter gave the money to Dad to buy it, and Dad went to the store, then it no longer looks like a gift or immediate family transfer/early inheritance. I read somewhere Dad had over 10 firearms "registered" to him though what kind was not stated.

I wish it was just incompetence, but imo it was the hoped for result of intentional neglect: DC's scaling back the level of security made this inevitable. They didn't have to plan a hit... just sit back and wait for this to happen.

That has been my thought.

I know this is a repost, but I could not quit laughing at Holster Puzzle

I believe I heard that he asked his dad if he could borrow the rifle as he was "planning on going to the range".

Seems to be more and more confirmed that the building was not unattended. Local LE were inside and using it as a staging area.

It also appears based on comments from several seemingly knowledgeable sources the SS handles immediate area and outsources to locals for outer perimeters.

It may end up being that the major failure is on the part of local LE, which can be laid toward SS for not insuring they were doing their part I suppose.

It’s also seems that the story that a local LE of some sort did scale the wall and attempt to intervene but dropped back to the ground when the shooter turned towards him. The shooter then quickly turned back and began firing.

And an unconfirmed story that there was supposed to be a counter sniper team on that roof, but it seems weird they would have counter snipers on a roof with rifles pointing in the direction of Trump. Not sure I buy that one. Maybe it was supposed to just be observers, or maybe it’s completely fake. Idk.

This might explain why my thoughts keep going back to Uvalde.

the kid was 20ish the gun was bought 11 years ago Do the math do you really think it was a straw purchase.

That’s irrelevant to the question of a straw purchase.

Maybe he was playing the loooooong game...

Not entirely if the firearm was used in the commission of a crime.

So now they go after the dad for dealing in firearms without an FFL?

Interesting. Looked at the Reagan shooting pic. SS personnel have barrels pointed to the sky, finger along side and the stupid photogs still crowding the scene.
