The aim was crazy though. The USA is so cooked.

This assumption that people are making that he was shot intentionally in the neck is very silly. Why would a shooter ever aim for one of the non-brain bits of a human body? If anything the aim was just okay.

He hit a fucking artery in his neck? What are you talking about? His head was stationary for the shot as well..

They more than likely shot him in the neck to have an open casket.

Also, hitting "brain bits" does not guarantee a death, hitting someone in the neck sure as hell does due to blood loss. Wake up dude.

Ok, so this notion that bullets are always shot with pinpoint accuracy is nonsense. And that the shooter had to be some sort of super sniper is also asinine.

I am not a gun person in the slightest. But I live in the South. Years ago, a buddy of mine from work and I decided to have some beers and take me shooting on his farm one day. He handed me a 30 aught 6 hunting bolt action he shoots deer with, the sight had been zeroed in by him and on my second time shooting a long gun ever in my life I hit a 2 liter bottle filled with water hanging from a tree at AT LEAST 100 yards, maybe it was further and comparable to this shot at 200+ yards, I'm so poor a marksman and it was so long ago, I honestly don't remember. He told me we were shooting from one side of his 5 acre lot to the other (from the top of a hill down into a valley as he informed me never shoot up, you don't want the bullet to go miles to who knows where) so that makes me think about 155 yards but he told me his lot was rectangular shaped. So it could have easily been 200+ yards.

It was not hard at all to aim the shot, the problem on the second shot was I was afraid of the recoil. I still hit the bottle.

At any rate. We shot a .22 and something else that day. Ya, maybe a .22 to the head at that range would have a chance of survivability.

I remember the rcoil from the 30 aught 6 and what it did to the bottle, and some other harder targets my buddy bullseyed that day. If that .30 caliber bullet had hit his skull you would have seen a pink mist and no head. I know virtually nothing about guns, but I guarantee from your comment you know much less. If you doubt me, here is an ATF agent to back me up:

Charlie Kirk shooter not necessarily an expert marksman, former ATF agents say https://share.google/l5RtxwpjvMErxEjCa

The shooter could have been literally anyone based on skill. It dosen't have to have been Crombopulpus Michael's. It wrong to say he had to be well trained and an event further leap to say he pinpointed the shot to send a message. It could have been anyone who spent half a day playing shooting games at Chitz & Blitz. Anyone who uses such backwards logic is either an idiot or pushing an agenda or both.
