    definitely inside job. The dude who failed to shoot Trump was around 160 yards away. Whoever shot Kirk was around 150 - 200 yards away and he only needed 1 shot. Definitely pro stuff, maybe a hit order from within the gov.

      200 yards isn’t that big of a deal for a half decent marksman. Thomas Crooks was a lousy shot but if it wasnt for Trump’s last second head movement he would have been shot through the head.

      The rifle used to shoot Kirk was in .30-06 AND was a bolt-action Mauser style military rifle which has far superior ballistic qualities as a target rifle and round, meaning it is quite simple to bullseye someone’s head with a little practice and training at that distance.
