Shots fired at Trump during rally

He was definitely clipped on the ear. He immediately put his hand to his ear and pulled his hand away with blood on it.

 

Throw Dad in jail.

Edit: I misread the post. Dad didn't do anything wrong.

 

Honestly, in our system, no indication that he did anything illegal. So many legal ways to give guns to people and the assumption is that they should have those guns without evidence either way.

 

Why exactly?

 

Really? I’ve only seen a single claim of a 17 year old high school kid linked to a $15 donation. What was the other ones?

 

So registered Republican but not a Republican, dies with a gun in his hands wearing a gun promoting T-shirt to throw us off. Don’t hurt yourself with the contortions you are performing. Maybe even perhaps allowing the obvious to be obvious. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

 

No need to bring Bill up in this.

 

LOL. To Bill a cigar was not just a cigar. But Was just suggesting that most times things are what they seem.

 

I'm dumb. I read "illegally".

 

Occam’s Razor usually rings true but makes bad press.

 

Seems like it should be. Guy was probably obviously nuts (although who knows at this point- he apparently did well in high school).

 

Another comment suggested his father was a mental health counselor. If true I guess there is no bigger blind spot than family.

 

Uh oh. WSJ reporting he took his dads gun. They better get lawyers.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, who authorities say tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump, used a gun that had been purchased by his father, people familiar with the investigation said.

Law enforcement officials have described the weapon as an AR-style rifle and said Crooks was able to fire multiple rounds from a rooftop before a Secret Service sniper fired back, killing him. One spectator was killed, and two others were critically injured, officials said.

 

Those Michigan parents got ten years.

 

Yeah his dad will probably go to jail.

 

The father bought the gun legally not the shooter.
Now is there some responsibility in keeping you guns locked up. I say that there darn sure is.

 

Yeah, but the son was an adult. He could give the gun to his son, assuming that the son wasn't adjudicated as unable to have a gun (and haven't heard anything about that, and that is pretty easy to find and seems like one of the first things that somebody would look to find).

 

But the kid was an adult, and could have known where the key was.

I think it is way too soon to assume the parents have any liability in this.
