I intend to avoid talking about politics as much as possible during this fraught summer, and about the recent assassination attempt entirely, except for this one note.
From the NY Post:
gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was able to climb onto a roof about 130 yards from Trump’s location at a rally in Butler, Pa., before firing an AR-15-style rifle at the former president
First of all, calling it an "AR-15-style" rifle offers no useful information at all. Who cares what it looked like?
Secondly, the minimum marksmanship requirement for an Army recruit in basic training is to be 50% accurate with that rifle at a range of 300 yards.
Minimum.
From the rooftop in question, that was virtually a point blank shot. The rooftop should have been protected.
