2nd Attempt On Trump

[Ninurta]

pretty it's a sks sporter released picture of the rifle, if memory serves they come in 18, 20 and 22 inch barrel lengths. i'm guessing this is a 20 or 22 barrel.



wonder if that some home made pos eye protector on the ass end of the scope

and apparently he left a letter with details and offering 150k if he didn't succeed.

Man suspected of assassination attempt against Trump left a letter detailing his plans, prosecutors say 

this link below (warning opens a PDF, didn't trigger ant virus or make of of my shields go bonkers} has the picture above and a more clear one that was taken by the fence. the 150 k is on page seven.

Charging Document

Holy shit, will ya just look at that thing!

The object on the ass end of the scope does appear to be home-made out of cardboard or something, but I think it was meant to be a sun shade rather than any kind of eye protector. On a full powered gun - one not firing an intermediate cartridge like 7.62x39 - anything on that end of the scope may black your eye at the best - gouge it out or gash your eyebrow or cheek at the worst. For a sun shade, it's on the wrong end of the scope. Sunshades are meant to prevent glare on the objective lens - the lens at the front of the scope, closest to the target.

But that's just a minor thing, one that demonstrates he's got no damned business within 100 yards of a gun. Much worse is his scope attachment. It's not. It looks like it's held in place with a couple wraps of electrical tape around the scope, receiver, and stock.

Electrical tape. Not scope mounts, not even duct tape. Just... electrical tape. Stretchy electrical tape.

Can't much count on a scope to hold a  zero like that. I've got a better scope, and MUCH better scope mounts, on my dinky little .22 rifle.

It's almost as if the only thing he was serious about was getting caught... OR providing a distraction from... something else...

Is the roofing business so bad in Hawaii that a guy has to contemplate an extended stay in Club Fed to be able to count on eating? If not, then the alternative question is: what was he trying to distract folks from?
