In my signature line (RFDs by county) It has not been updated in some time so may not be 100% accurate.

Did some updating there, removed some of the RFDs which have closed, and added a few which weren't there.
Also added a hyperlink list to Cass' first post so you can now just click the county you want to view RFDs for, and if anyone has any changes they are aware of to the displayed list(or any RFD owners looking for a spot on the list) fire me a PM and I'll make the modification.

Has anyone imported from Germany before? I'm being quoted €700 for shipping only on a single long gun. It's a good bit more than I expected. Any suggestions? It's an antique so I don't have to licence it.

Numerous times but never quoted anything like that.

Last time was about 80-100 euro(for 2 packages as required for a firearm).

Try waffen taxi, or talk to Triebel and see could they export it for you.

Sounds like a DHL/Deutsche Post quote. Would definitely go Waffentaxi. de,

Hopefully he won't take a knee jerk against firearms like Reagan did.

A poor shot really from max 150 yards, aim into the center of mass

Does seem rather suspect that the shots were taken when the smallest facial profile was presented to the shooter.

But him missing consistently low and left also points to the shooter potentially being rather inexperienced.

Surely hitting his ear would say he was going for the glory shot

Presumably, but that's a foolish goal if your intent is to assassinate him.

Hence another aspect of inexperience.

I've read now that he wasn't hit with a bullet, it was glass from the teleprompter.

Interesting, so even further off the mark than previously it seems.

He was wearing glasses, no scope

Bystanders notified police about shooter before shooting

Were secret service on orders to let him shoot first and then kill him?

Shooter on lowest roof in area with secret service on all roofs above him

Someone in charge of that SS detail will be on the mat about this clusterfuk. As to why

[1] There wasn't even one agent detailed to be on that roof. Even the most amateur fresh out of Quantico rookie would have been sufficient.

[2] Why the counter-sniper unit wasn't scanning that area as an obvious location for a sniper position

[3] Even if it wasn't considered a viable position[for some reason] . Why wasn't the building and roof access secured for the duration?

[4] When people are reporting suspicious activity on a rooftop,why was this information not acted on a bit more promptly?

I wonder was it as simple as confusion because of the alphabet-soup nature of the multiple agencies providing oversight/security for this sort of thing, and the fact that they all dress in similar, but variably different, high-speed-low-drag-operator outfits, with a goodly quantity of them scattered about on vantage points, all with scoped rifles and looking like they're 'officially' meant to be there?
I'd suspect the various authorities at these events get lots of reports of person-with-rifle spotted by members of the public, the vast majority of which can correctly be attributed to the 'real' sniper teams assigned to the event.
Perhaps this guy just got freaky 'lucky' to slip between the cracks to find an unguarded and accessible spot, and all the agencies involved just assumed it was someone from some other outfit?

I saw a meme about that very circumstance a moment ago.

Two SS snipers chatting:

1 - Shouldn't we have someone on that roof over there?

2 - Nah, no point.

1 - Why?

2 - No reason to have a SS team and a CIA team on the same rooftop.

Gave me a chuckle anyway :D

Gotta ask what kind of LEO goes up a ladder where there might be a suspected gunman without drawing his sidearm and calling for backup first.Even if the guy pointed the rifle at him,just even putting a couple of shots over the parapet when he ducked back down would have been enough to get the whole security show rolling once they heard gunfire.

That would explain some of the lackadaisical reactions from the SS anyway.
Not acceptable, but somewhat of an explanation.

Yeah, makes sense. Clearly resources are stretched. It’s a very non-standard situation. Former presidents have very minor SS detail appropriate for their expected retirement.

Trump is the first former president to re-run for office in a very long time. The minor detail is not appropriate for a high profile campaign.

But Jill Biden is neither a president nor a past president

otmmyboy2

Indeed, especially given the amount of vehement rhetoric everywhere about Trump vs Jill Biden there would seem to be a vast chasm between the levels of potential threat between Trump and Jill.

And though Jill isn't a president the POTUS' family does get a detail, though drawing from Trump's detail to put agents on hers(supposedly experienced agents too) seems a bizarre decision to make.

Next question should be there why did the Attorney General Garland authorise the use of deadly force by the FBI raid on Mar a Largo if so much as the slightest resistance was shown?

Why did the FBI "trump up"the evidence of these supposedly classified documents by literally scattering them around a corridor in the Trumps apartment?When they were stored in a strong room?

No wonder the case is dismissed.Esp with sleepy Joe storing his removed classified documents from his time as VP under Obama in the garage on the floor next to his Corvette.
