Attempted 2nd attempt on Trump rifle.

[Almost Jack Burton]

Is it weird to anyone else besides me the chosen weapon by the would be assassins have both been what the media calls "assault rifles"? I seen the one today was a ban era saiga type but it still takes a detachable mag, and has been called an AK-47 .
Seems like it's a Kansas City shuffle to get a ban pushed by either candidate that wins. Kamala would say these were used in 2 attempts on a President. And although doubtful Trump could say the same thing.
Further more of there would happen to be a successful attempt on him, it would be a no issue for that cackling witch to get a ban pushed.
***Disclaimer for the next part is all hypothetical***
Everyone no matter what side of the fence they are on has seen a movie about assassins, there is also a plethora of knowledge available about long range shooting so the way I seen it a bolt gun with a bipod and variable zoom optic would be a wiser choice so why are these scum choosing intermediate cartridge rifles?
What are your thoughts on this?

To your second point --- Most people that would attempt a political assassination are likely not the types that take such considerations into account. Generally they might be considered "troubled" and "irrational" at best.

I feel like these unstable people are targeted by certain opposition and put up to it.

Pretty sure these shooters are mere puppets.

Evidently, the new motto of the FBI and/or CIA is “if at first you don’t succeed, try again”. I believe the reason the SS agent that shot at the guy and missed is so he wouldn’t hurt one of his own team mates.

True, a lot better choices for a rifle and cartridge.

He may have picked that rifle due to opportunity… meaning it was the only rifle he could get.

Hawaii residents not allowed to own AK
The Hawaii gun control law did not stop a shooter. Go figure

Those laws don’t apply to govt “law enforcement”.

He was a felon and not allowed to have any firearm. The “AK” he had, the serial number was removed so it’s safe to assume he didn’t legally obtain that rifle.

Removed serial # is a whole separate federal charge. This moron is trying harder to look stupid

Which points even more directly to it being an inside job or at least set up by the feds.
