The shot was taken from 130 yards away in the prone position from an elevated point with I'm assuming an AR15 and I'm assuming an optic . The Shooter got off 3 or 4 shots . Yeah Trump should be dead . I wouldn't call that an easy shot especially if your panicked and pretty sure you're head is about to get blown off by the secret service. But even still Trump is blessed to be alive.
All the big gun buying these last 8 years have not been Conservatives. We have had our guns for many decades, so it is liberals who have been doing it as they see the chaos they created around them. They buy the gun thinking it is some magical protection and never really go out and learn how to shoot it well.

this kid quite obviously did some shooting. He must have practiced a lot.

He missed and hit others in the crowd. 130 yards is not a hard shot with a scope.

The guy didn't miss , Trump turned his head at the last second . That round was going to hit him in the side of the head .

I just think to be able to do this, you need some practice.

Did he turn after his ear was hit, or before? Turning your head doesn't change positions.

I was thinking that like his head is wide open what are they doing i guess i assumed they would have shields or something like that but im guessing they are supposed to be the shield with their bulletproof vests but he was wide open there. maybe they knew they iced the shooter and there was only one shooter so that's why they let Trump stand up like that, maybe he was supposed to be hunched down but still the whole thing did not inspire confidence. they all could have ended up dead in this scenario with a more competent sniper from a different location.
Yep exactly ala, the supposed triangulation of fire scenario in the JFK assassination.
We are lucky this was a relatively amateur attempt, and I say we as in the country. The US has a growing extremist problem on both sides of the spectrum. Ever notice how they mostly seem like young and no doubt impressionable people?
