I guess so, other than his manifesto saying he wants to kill Trump and showing up at the same place and time. I don’t think I’d wanna be ak-bush-guy in court
edit: are AK’s even legal to carry around? I don’t know if FL has open carry
If I am not mistaken FL has one of those statutes that permits Open Carry only while lawfully engaged in fishing/hunting/camping.
In some states it is legal to open carry a rifle on a sling in public. Pointing it at/across a public street from a semi-concealed position, as the suspect was, isn’t legal in almost any situation, in any state.
I think there’s a YouTube channel called the armed fisherman whose deal is to carry an AK as he goes “fishing” because that is allowed. I’ve only seen a couple of vids, so my details are probably wrong.
I really don’t know. I think it’s more people are glad he’s feeling the violence he put out into the world and because guns are so free and loose. To me it’s still quite a big deal, having not really lived through any assassinations in my life 😅
Yeah but glad is a feeling you have, not something that makes you try to create a narrative or change reality. Its concerning. Please fix everyone naught.
Where did they confirm the rifle? Initial reporting was an AK-47 and a scope, then I heard AR type (whatever that means). I was dubious on an actual AK (not AKM or 74), and am very surprised on an sks. This guy was gonna make a 4-500 yard shot with an SKS??? And it must have been a modified or later paratrooper model, because I don’t think they had scope mounts on regular SKS, not even the side mount bracket. It has been so long since I had my “Big 5 sports” $99 SKS, but I don’t think I could hit a head shot at 400 yards with 7.62 on my best day.
This is for sure not an AK (awful idea to try to mount a scope on those anyway) but also definitely isn’t an sks. This looks like something like a remington with an extended box mag? But the media needs to attach it to boogeymen like cold war bad guys or rap music so I guess we can just call it an AK for now
Also, how are we taking pictures like this in 2024? Did the police bring a camcorder from the 2000s from home to snap this picture??
chef there’s nothing in this burger
Man hiding in bush at Donald Trump’s golf course with

There’s an old law in FL, I know it’s in TX; probably in FL, attempt an assassination once… you’re a fool…attempt twice, you can’t attempt again.
Shame on… You

It was a golf course, not a street.
The reporting placed the gunmans position across the street from the golf course, so yes you’re correct, but only in a semantic sense.
It’s an SKS not an AK

I have so many thoughts and prayers… how has it not been acknowledged & helped?
How could someone convince themselves that this isnt concerning or news? Why dont people want truth?

SKS, but close enough I guess.

Cops shared a scene photo in case you haven’t come across it yet. Don’t know if there is a higher quality version.
