The Federal Bureau of Investigation has identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania as the “subject involved” in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, it said in a statement on Sunday.
…
The political leanings of Crooks, who was shot dead by the Secret Service after the attempted assassination, were not immediately clear. Records show Crooks was registered as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania, but federal campaign finance reports also show he gave $15 to a progressive political action committee on 20 January 2021, the day President Joe Biden was sworn in to office. Officials have not publicly disclosed a possible motive.
We’ve had AR-15s since the 60s, yet you seem to think it’s a new thing? What’s new is the mass shootings, and they’re far more rare than most think.
Anyhow, I have a few rifles, other than my AR, that would easily make that shot. Know why you hear about ARs all the time? Because the media hypes it.
Quick! Remember the horrific shooting in Maine? What gun did he use? I had a hard time looking it up at first because the media wasn’t talking about it. Weird, huh? It was an AR-10, and few know what that is, doesn’t make a hot headline. (It’s basically an AR-15, as are many, many other rifles.)
OTOH, I can’t think of any reason why our billionaire owned media would want us disarmed. Doesn’t make sense does it?
⬆️ Absolutely brain dead take.
