2nd republican who wanted to kill Trump, totally believable.



Dipshits.

It’s a crazy person. Just like the hundreds of other assassination attempts by crazy people.

Never heard that early M-16 wasn’t accurate. Problems with jamming, but not accuracy.

Problems appeared immediately. Soldiers were often not adequately trained to maintain the new rifle (in fact some were told the new rifle was “self-cleaning”), nor were they always given cleaning supplies or instructions. The harsh jungle climate corroded the rifle’s chamber, exacerbated by the manufacturer’s decision against chrome-plating the chamber. The ammunition that accompanied the rifles sent to Vietnam was incompatible with the M16 and was the principal cause of the failure to extract malfunctions. The result was the M16 often jammed, making the rifle “about as effective as a muzzleloader,” in the words of one officer. Men were killed in combat because they couldn’t return fire until the malfunction was cleared. Congress investigated and the rifle and its ammunition were incrementally modified, greatly improving its reliability over the next few years. Troop training was also improved. But the damage to the M16’s reputation could not be undone, and many soldiers remained deeply skeptical of their rifle through the war’s end.

The M16 wasn’t particularly accurate. That’s more just what Colt was building at the time than a flaw with the AR-15 design. A tight upper with a good free floating barrel, and you can make it a sub MOA gun.

The jamming thing is more a manual-of-arms issue. You have to clean and maintain an AR-15, even the piston variants. The AK47 is clearly more robust, but the AR is no slouch. The GWOT proved that.

The Trump National Committee members are probably very good stewards of donations. Win or lose in November he is going to drain that piggy bank.

LAWYERS GONNA BE PAID!

Fox Opinion Network working overtime trying to generate sympathy for Turd.

Best quote .."They know he's going to win and they are trying to eliminate him"..
Who is "they"?

LOL
Republicans want everyone in this country armed.
This is what you get.

NO....They are supposed to be paid. He is declaring bankruptcy as soon as he loses.

So far assassination attempts 2 school shootings 1. Perhaps if we have more assassination attempts gun control will gain more traction.

No guns for Dems? Guns isn't an issue I vote on but that seems like a policy that might make things better I guess.
