Does it sound like a suppressed .22 to anyone else?

DickFiasco ,

Hard to tell because it’s a recording, but yeah I was thinking something very small like a 22 short or a high powered BB gun.

NaibofTabr ,

Apparently the shooter was in the crowd, which means it wasn’t a long gun of any kind. Probably a pistol, something small enough to conceal. 22 makes sense.

wizardbeard ,

.22 is small caliber, even for a pistol.

It’s not like the Japanese Prime Minister (and former Prime Ministers) don’t have security, but the disparity of security compared to Secret Service protected individual is huge.

The fact that the killer managed to get so close to Abe without being screened is indicative of the fact that such an attack was so unexpected in Japan.

I mean they guy grazed Trump, so it’s not like secret service prevented the shooting.

akakunai , (edited )

True, I’m just saying that if someone wants to assassinate a current or former American President, that would be a massively more difficult hit.

The Abe killer was unscreened (like everyone else in attendance), and managed to walk directly up to Abe from behind and fire shots from 7, then only 5 metres away.

Regardless, meme funny.

Remember that Biden is immune thanks to the SCOTUS.

Ugh, the duopoly’s going to get so much more insufferable over this like they’re not both slavemasters worthy of being reviled.

I’m hoping for the best. For the United States, that is.
