    You might want to take your own advice. Oswald’s USMC testing was done with either an M1 or an M14. Both are semi automatic. His skills were not evaluated at getting 3 accurate shots off at a moving target in less than 5-6 seconds with and old Italian bolt action rifle.

    He was 20. How much of a gun fetish could he have had? His dad bought his rifle lol.

    Exactly. Crooks never should have been able to get that close. He somehow knew prior to the event that he would be allowed to get that close, otherwise he would have been risking arrest with explosives and such on his person. So this is not such a wild theory. It would actually explain a lot.

    Who did this registered gun-loving white male Republican vote for?

    He would not have been able to vote in 2020 due to his age. I think he registered in 2022.

    Now there are rumors that the SS sniper had a shot for an extended period of time and was told not to shoot, but when the shooter opened fire he took the shot and was subsequently fired for disobeying orders.

    I pray that’s not true and is just a bunch of crap, only posting in hopes of getting confirmation or some official denial. It seems preposterous ImHO.

    Even considered not posting it because I damn sure don’t want to spread BS.

    I never heard about that order, but there is video showing the cops/snipers behind Trump aiming thought their scope towards the shooter way before the shoots rang out. And they never took the shooter out until the shooter got off at least 3 shots.
