    Supposedly he actually hit the teleprompter and shards from that is what nicked Trump, so bro just missed entirely.

    He was also not allowed to join his school’s rifle club for being a hilariously bad shot…

      Oh lame. That makes more sense though, it’s not hard but it took me a bit of practice to nail 100 yard shots. If he was inexperienced it makes me wonder if the rifle was even zeroed properly, cause if it wasn’t there was no chance in hell he was going to hit Trump.

      Did some digging, some comments say he had ironsights. Also read the articles about him being a bad shot, apparently he would be so off target that he would hit the leftmost lane when he was sitting in the rightmost lane of the range. Yeah Trump was in no danger.
