>and Behar said, “According to a CNN report, a senior law enforcement official said that [the would-be assassin] bought 50 rounds of ammunition from a local gun store hours before the rally.”

>Behar then looked up at her fellow hosts and said, “Shouldn’t that have been reported? Somebody buys 50, a 20-year-old white guy, I mean we’ve seen that many times now. Young white men with guns and nobody reported that he bought 50 rounds of ammunition.”
.22lr comes in boxes of 50 or 100.
most .223/5.56 comes in boxes of 20, but I've seen boxes of 50 and boxes of 200

First off, everyone has ARs because they are cheap. they shoot the cheapest rifle ammo, .223 and they are in general cheaper than any rifle other than very basic bitch hunting bolt action rifles. The shooter used irons allegedly. I've used irons in NRA high power. the aiming point of the target at 200 is about the size of a human torso (19 inch circle, acog bdc is based on 19 inches at certain distances). IMO the biggest issue would be if the gun wasn't zeroed or if he was trying to aim for the head or something weird. I do a 6 o'clock hold on my target rifles which only really works if I know the size of the thing I am shooting. aiming for the head with irons would suck because no magnification, head small and irons take up a lot of your field of view.
oh and the shooter was confirmed jewish.

>Illinois deputy charged with murder shot woman in face after ordering her to move pot of water
A sheriff’s deputy charged with murder in the death of a Black woman shot her in the face during a tense moment over a pot of water in her home.

>SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — An Illinois sheriff’s deputy charged with murder in the death of a Black woman shot her in the face during a tense moment over a pot of water in her home and then discouraged his partner from trying to save her, authorities said Thursday.

>The details were in a court document filed in support of keeping fired Sangamon County Deputy Sean Grayson in custody without bond. County Circuit Judge Ryan M. Cadagin agreed, denying Grayson pretrial release at a hearing Thursday in Springfield.

>In a courtroom guarded by a dozen sheriff’s deputies with three more patrolling the hall, Cadagin described the actions the former deputy is accused of as “such a departure from the expectations of a civil society.”

>Sonya Massey, 36, was killed at her home in Illinois’ capital city, about 200 miles (322 kilometers) south of Chicago, after deputies responded to her 911 call about a possible prowler early on July 6.

>Prosecutors alleged that after Grayson allowed Massey to move a pot of water heating on the stove and she set it on a counter, Grayson then “aggressively yelled” at Massey over the pot and pulled his 9 mm pistol. Massey then put her hands in the air, declared “I’m sorry” and ducked for cover before being shot in the face. Grayson also discouraged the other deputy from getting his medical kit, prosecutors said.

>“The other deputy still rendered aid and stayed with Ms. Massey until medical help arrived,” First Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Rodgers wrote. Grayson “at no time attempted to render aid to Ms. Massey.”

Did the shooter pre-position the ladder and if so, how did he get away with it?

Trump rally shooter's duffel bag and range finder first sparked suspicions, sources say
Investigators are trying to determine a motive for Thomas Matthew Crooks.

New details have emerged about the suspected shooter at former President Donald Trump's rally over the weekend, including what first brought Thomas Matthew Crooks under suspicion.

Multiple law enforcement sources confirmed to ABC News that suspicions about the suspect were first aroused at the site by other attendees when they spotted him with a range finder and duffel bag.

Attendees then notified law enforcement, according to sources.

The suspect, who was 20, had two cell phones -- one on him and a second one found at his home, sources said.

Sources also told ABC News that Crooks came to the rally site in Butler, Pennsylvania, on the morning of the shooting, stayed there for an hour, left and then came back sometime in the early 5 p.m. ET hour.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he will end his presidential re-election campaign, bringing an abrupt and humbling conclusion to his half-century-long political career and scrambling the race for the White House just four months before Election Day.

Biden, 81, could not reverse growing sentiment within his party that he was too frail to serve and destined to lose to Donald Trump in November.

"While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term," Biden wrote in a letter posted on X. "I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision."

Biden thanked Vice President Kamala Harris for "being an extraordinary partner" but did not endorse her to be his replacement as the Democratic Party presidential nominee in his letter.

All The Ways The Right Is Melting Down Over Kamala Harris
>"They are watching Democratic enthusiasm skyrocket in real-time, and if I were them, I'd be pretty freaked out too," a Democratic senator told HuffPost.

In the 24 hours since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place at the top of the ticket, the right has struggled to mount a unified response ― whipsawing between different strains of messaging that have veered from angry to conspiratorial to downright racist.

Biden’s surprise announcement upended the 2024 presidential race and shocked Republicans and their conservative allies, who were banking on running against an unpopular 81-year-old incumbent with well-defined qualities they could easily attack.

Now, with just four months until the election, the right is throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks against Harris, 59, the first female, Black and South Asian American vice president, who has quickly won support from various corners of the Democratic Party in her newly launched effort to become the nominee next month.

>This Isn’t Happening!

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, seemed far more focused on Biden’s decision to leave the race, ranting about the Democratic rebellion against Biden’s candidacy that was rooted in concerns about his age and fitness.

By Monday morning, Trump had posted on Truth Social more than a dozen times about Biden. He claimed the president “never had” COVID-19 despite the White House doctor affirming so. He insisted Biden is the real “threat to Democracy.” He complained that “now we have to start all over again,” and predicted: “It’s not over! Tomorrow Crooked Joe Biden’s going to wake up and forget that he dropped out of the race today!”
