Everyone is clear that you can lock down a school so that no gun may enter and it still would not stop anyone from firing from outside of the school, right? (Cleveland Elementary School shooting, Springwater Trail High School). A closed windows does not necessarily save anyone. Lock everyone...

Right. There is a MAJOR difference between a semi automatic and automatic. Because certain semi automatics look a lot like an automatic, people don't realize they are NOT the same, are not intended to be used for the same things. IMO, an automatic has one purpose: to shoot as many rounds in...

Depends on what you are hunting. Semi automatic is just a repeating rifle, one that auto reloads the next round after a shot. You still have to release the trigger and pull the trigger again to get that round to fire. One round per trigger pull, but the next round auto loads. Remington makes...

Shooters simply go out with a gun, waiting for a gap? Its a theory. What I would like to see is where each of this list would fit into odds. Indoor vs outdoor chances. (in theory there would be no way to get indoors without being scanned, but is this true?) Counter Sniper or security on that...

Is anyone a statistician? What are the chances that: There was an outdoor event that just happened to be in a place/city/town where a person was willing to attempt an assassination? And that the First Lady would just happen to need SS, dividing resources, on that exact same day an hour away at...

Wasn't in the screening zone per reports. Could have had the gun in a pack until he climbed on the roof partially disassembled or even not. Depends on the pack and length of gun. Could have had the gun stashed somewhere since it was outside of the screening area. Length and specific style of gun...

Oh, so many thoughts. Thoughts behind secrecy: No watch found LE found it with Jay or around there. He's already deceased, why make it worse? Watch found but not with Jay or further away from Jay than makes sense. Man who claimed his watch was stolen was lying so he could claim insurance. Man...

I suppose it depends on the person, the family and the circumstances. I note that the odder the circumstances, the more likely the media runs with it. And there needs to be clues, not just someone was there and then they weren't. And the family has to be dogged about it. Old case of Jahi Turner...

I'm going on record as saying it's not that TC does not have an internet presence. It's that he has an internet presence they are still trying to track down and don't want to tip their hand in case there are other people to track down from there. OR that he has an internet presence they haven't...

Consider also that the man is 78 years old. He's in good shape for 78, but you just don't bend like you did when you were 20 when you are 78 .I just cannot see how he could have "stayed down" and still made it to the SUV. He was tackled to the hard stage by security agents. That had to hurt...

The roof did not look very tall, and it definitely had sections that went from one roof to another, some of which were a foot or three lower than the roof. As teenager, I would climb on a school roof, two stories tall, by climbing a fence, first roof, up on an A/C unit, foot on a cement pole to...

Sadly looks like it could have been like many trails I have been on. Just walking along slow descent. You can see your goal and whoops. There is a 30 foot ravine between you and the other side. I've been on trails in Hawaii where the brush makes it look safe enough, but really that bush is...

Just asking, what if your goal is to go out with your name forever embedded in history? How could anyone ever speak of President Trump again without mentioning, say, a massive shooting where 20 people died at one of his rallies? And if you are not necessarily a good shot, then just shoot at...

I keep wondering if it was really an assassination attempt. Rather, was the purpose to pepper the audience and the ear shot was just what happened when he was interrupted by the police officer looking over the edge. A mass shooting as opposed to a specific shooting.

When something bad happens, a lot of people gather up the people close to them. If the people you love aren't right there, you might go look for them. If you found your gun missing while looking for your loved one, your mind might go there. A sequence of events can lead you to a place you never...

In posts above, gun purchased by father legally, but unknown if given to TC or taken by TC. FBI has his phone. Said to not have much of a Social Media presence. They found his vehicle, though not much said about it. No knowledge of why he did this at this time. And he had a job as a dietary...

If this is true, then makes me think too many cooks in the kitchen. If there WAS Secret Service and local and specialized local and Trumps private security, who was responsible for what, and did they all think someone else had those roofs being watched outside the venue?

If someone comes up with a theory that might also be hurtful, and it is viable and evidence could point that way, it divides LE time to look into something ELSE. From the point of view of someone who does not believe the hurtful theory, it hinders the "just missing" search, because now LE is...

The goal might have been to kill or it might have been to harm or it might have been to frighten. If the shooter was actually good, but missed on purpose that is different than he was just a lousy shot and missed. Or maybe he wanted to kill the guy who is deceased now, and the other shots were...

Not always a term of endearment, depending on the family, which is why I was wondering. Again, just kind of wondering.
