Official Trump Attempted Assassination at his Rally Thread

[Cameramonkey]

I'm shocked bidet didn't mention AR15s in his speech

I'm not. I expect him to be a LOT less divisive on hotbutton issues like this from now on. He's going to go full on touchy feely kumbaya mode. He cant afford to lose gun owning constituents right now who otherwise might hold their nose on that one issue for "the greater good" of having their man in office.

He did that "it's time for us to come together. I'll be the unifier." And then started ****ting on "maga" people.

I doubt that.
I think he's just waiting for the 'underlings' to seed the idea into people's heads.
Then bring it out.

 

[jamil]

Oh yeah. Bill Maher said that MAGA got their martyr.

Oh yeah, he can say "screw those folks". Because they'll never vote for him and his base hates them and wants them dead. Literally.
But that is about as far as he can go.

 

[actaeon277]

Watching, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939).

Not sure if it makes me feel better, or worse.


In that movie, the "press" is controlled, and the people see only what they want them to see.

 

[ditcherman]

Sorry if this had already been posted, pretty hard to keep up.

But then he's not actually being a unifier. And no one on that side actually cares. They keep saying this and that shouldn't be politicized, as if MAGA is the only ones politicizing stuff. Masks, vaccines, lockdowns. "Those MAGA people keep politicizing the pandemic!" If you're taking a side on an issue of policy, you're politicizing that issue.

I guess he'll want slingshot control next. Cause that wasn't exactly extreme rifle range.
Or even long range.

This is a case where quite literally, any rifled firearm from the 1770’s to now, coupled with a competent shooter, could have done the job. People are the problem, not tools.

O

So there were TWO lousy shooters that couldnt get the job done?

i don’t know where he got that. He was there, I wasn’t. It was very early in the situation. That’s like the only two shooter testimony I’ve seen?

I haven’t talked to Kip since 1975, but I still chat with his sister online from time to time. I took my Mom back to Indiana and visited their parents a few years ago. Was OC and asked if they’d like me to leave my gun in the car and they said they had no problem with it. But, I don’t know Kip’s position. Heck, my daughter is big time anti gun and apparently gets her news from Bill Maher as she was here this afternoon and said it looks like the Republicans got their martyr! Grandkid went ballistic before I could reply, (probably a good thing) but I thought you had to die to be a martyr, but it looks like BM said the same thing.

When the budget comes up, and people are crying about the "shutdown" and the right is "politicizing" the event. I always point out.. THE OTHER SIDE IS JUST AS GUILTY.
After all, if they wouldn't be politicizing, then they'd have gave up what they needed to give up.
INSTEAD, they only want OTHER PEOPLE to give up.

WE KNOW that.

The idiots that only know what they are told about guns and defense though..

She'll be re-employed to stuff ballot boxes by November.

Has anyone ID'ed the rifle/scope the USSS snipers are using yet?

It looks like a bolt action M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle (ESR) or a minor variant/derivative although I cannot see the stock. Note the magazine. It's using the big stuff. The M2010 is chambered .300 Winchester Magnum with longer range and more punch than the 7.62x51 NATO. I haven't seen the muzzle clearly enough but suspect it's suppressed to reduce the report . . . which will still be quite loud . . . one needs to be able to continue communicating with not only the spotter, in this instance other USSS members. The description of "blew his head off" is undoubtedly a accurate. Still looking at the scope on it which appears to be equivalent to the M2010 photo from 2010 -- 14 years ago.

I know, preaching to the choir. We need a way bigger choir!

 

[DadSmith]

Has this video been posted yet?

 

[BigRed]

I'm waiting for all of the video collaborations put together reminding the hypocrisy of the libs calling for "unity." Especially the leaders of the pack.

They can **** all the way off.

 

[actaeon277]

problem is.. we're against this..
Well, 2 out of 3. They do the speaking evil part.

Give him time. After the dem convention they'll pull out all the stops.
