@oneeyedundertaker uh…I’m responding to someone who mentioned the Republican ones. I didn’t feel it necessary to repost that.
Go ahead, post some from each side…

Don't even hover over it.
This country has a sickness. A real cancer and it comes from both sides. Neither side is innocent.
if they don’t catch this guy soon it’s going to get worse. Way way worse. The conspiracies are going to be rampant and lead to more bullshit.Jesus social media. Reel just popped up with his security team carrying him to the suv
but it might be hard. Like an even worse mcveigh situation. He hit him from what looks like 200+ yards. That’s skill. That kind of skill also usually know how to hide or be invisible.
@larsiu watching Fox and they had an fbi guy on who said he suspects this was a pro hit and that the guy will be hard to find.
also had a conspiracy nutter on who said what if it was a hit from a foreign entity. Then next they get a dem. To fire us up

Is it though? Everything I'm hearing says it's not a big deal for anyone with any real experience with long guns. (I don't claim to know a damn thing about it one way or the other.)
I saw two different experts on two different channels say this wasn't all that difficult of a shot. It required some skill, but not a ton. Someone with a rifle certification from the military could do it easily. I wouldn't know. My limited experience with high-powered rifles tells me I couldn't have done it. But maybe others with a minimum amount of serious training, sure.
But they also said that the main benefit of this kind of shooting is that you give yourself a chance to get away. With minimal security and a large crowd, the shooter, if he's willing to dump the gun, could easily blend in and be escorted out by emergency responders.
@goat well I just googled the world distance shot and it is 4.4 miles. So you might be right
anybody with the skill and willingness to use that skill to hit and kill another human is a different breed.but it might be hard. Like an even worse mcveigh situation. He hit him from what looks like 200+ yards. That’s skill. That kind of skill also usually know how to hide or be invisible.

We don’t know enough yet to answer those questions. What gun? What position? What was his target (obviously it was Kirk but did he really hit where he was aiming)?
but the WILL to do it and keep your nerves is a step beyond. I’ve only ever fired a shitty old .22 and pretty poorly at that.I saw two different experts on two different channels say this wasn't all that difficult of a shot.

assuming he was either a couple inches high or low depending on head or center mass targeting.
