Question. Do you have to provide a record of sale of a firearm in PA? Like a transfer of ownership?

I found a different picture of the water tower in relation to the stage and the rooftop TC shot from. You can see the legs of the tower behind the #3 photo. It appears that it is behind the stage which might not have given him a shot. The article also shows the roof, which was supposed to be unsafe. There are prominent ridges to the metal which wouldn't have been a safety hazard for the SS.

Video reveals chaotic scramble as Thomas Crooks fired at Donald Trump

Thomas Crooks, 20, launched eight rapid fire shots from his AR-15-style rifle at Donald Trump in under six seconds before snipers fired two counter shots, including the one that killed him.

This article has great video of the scence as law enforcement/SS prepared to escort Trump from the stage. IMO, it took a long time! There were more LE protecting the path as the vehicle drove away than there were surrounding him as he left the stage.
I believe the SS became complacent and didn't coordinate with their counterparts as they should have. With the failures, is it assumed a shooting could have happened at any previous or later events? The SS has resigned. Who was the lead agent, on the ground, in charge at this event? Has anyone heard from him/her? They should be answering questions as well. They were there!
