I’m not a gun guy and I’ve been lazy (I only read the very short article) but to me it seems like a 10/10 “What the fuck were they thinking?” screw up by the Secret Service.

This shooter missed 8 shots from 400 feet? What? Was this a smoothbore muzzle loader or something?

I’ve hit targets 400 feet away with a revolver, goddamn

If it was windy, it’s pretty easy to miscalculate a shot.

I want to start a new grift for paranoid politicians: renting out huge portable fans to them that run at quickly changing speed/duration intervals, and claim it interferes with would-be snipers.

One dead, one seriously wounded, and one minor wound.

So not nothing, just missed the one target they were probably aiming for.
