The would-be assassin used an AR15.

[M14 Shooter]

From the moment I first heard this on ABC Saturday night, I knew it would be repeated at every opportunity.
I was right, of course.

Why do you figure this shooter chose an AR15?

I'll go with 'The media mentions at ever opportunity how the AR15 is the weapon of choice for mass shooters" for $2000, Alex.
They aren't good for hunting, just spray-and-pray shooting into crowds.
They aren't even accurate.
Apparently, this guy to you people at your word.

See, someone who knew what he was doing would have used an -06 and shot center mass.

What's this mean?
With all their nonsense about AR15s, the left - liberals, leftists, the MSM and the Democrats - saved Trump's life.
Much to their chagrin.

The assassin most likely used it because it was his father's gun. Meanwhile, you can use a "non-scary" looking rifle that shoots the same round.

I think he used the gun he did because he could get it from daddy.
Plenty of other weapons would have been a better choice.

Meh, I don't see the left making a lot of hay over the rifle used......And who gives a shit what FJB rants-on about.

Yep. He had borrowed it from his dad before and was familiar with it. No mass media conspiracy behind it.

I had an AR many years ago. I bought it to hunt coyote. Added a few accessories and it would do the trick.

In my experience the ARs are accurate rifles. Of course, if you buy the cheapest you get a cheap gun.

Oh, and there are probably more hog hunters using an AR than any other single gun.

His dad gave his son, a registered republican, an AR15 as a gift. The results were inevitable.

I had a Bushmaster Varminter and could cover 3-shots with a dime @100 yards using my handloads.

Like this one but with a different bi-pod/scope/grip set-up.....I killed a shit ton of groundhogs with it. I just used a 20-round mag with it.

Good bet thay any news story you read after 2000hrs EDT on 7-13 make mention of it.
The anti-gun groups on X, et al, are making all kinds of hay over it.
And Biden, just today, used the shooting as another excuse to ban 'weapons of war'.

actually an AR 15 is plenty accurate at 400 maters .. its not that the shooter missed its that Trump turned his head the instant the trigger was pulled .. there are rifles that shoot rounds that travel several hundred fps faster and may have accomplished what the assassin wanted .

His daddy reportedly had a bunch.

the maniacs social media posting will be revealed ! and you will probably have to eat your words again commie .

On of these days you will add something meaningful to some conversation, somewhere.
Today is not that day.
Tomorrow does not look good either.

The FBI has already scrubbed everything.

They are so compromised that they can not be allowed to continue.

It's actually never.

The moment the MSM said the FBI could not unlock his phone, your claim became plausible.

I know . I have her on ignore.
Just took a peek to see what sort of 2-bit insanity she had to add.
I was not disappointed.

It's been noted they did.

He donated to Act Blue, a radical democrat party group….Pennsylvania is a closed primary and he registered as a Republican to vote against Trump

They buried the Trans shooter manifesto.

They bury any info that might look bad for Democrats.

Somebody trustworthy, like The Texas Rangers, The US Marshall's, I don't know exactly, but someone trustworthy has to do it.
