The spent cartridge was still chambered in addition to three unspent rounds at the top fed magazine. All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.


Just as I suspected. Here we go again.

And let's not forget that Crowder had early access to the Nashville tranny manifesto.

I entered the thread this morning to post the words of Nick Freitas, Virginia State Representative. Oddball posted it a couple pages earlier. Lots of people have made posts here, and many whose name recognition grabs attention have made posts concerning the political assassination of Charlie Kirk—none get to the heart of the matter quite like Nick Freitas’ words.

A near 200yd hit with an ironsighted .30-06 surplus Mauser, first round cold shot, from an elevated position?

Poorly done hand engraving on cases with a Dremel or 'professionally' executed?

If true,

Extremely lucky, crazy amateur or experienced shooter with time and resources to practice with this weapon??

The investigators are surely considering these things.

A community of people calling themselves transgender have been taken advantage of, brainwashed, militarized, and weaponized by the far left. We call out the Klan because of their extremist beliefs and it seems like we have a new type of Klan that's protected and used by the far left.

I’ve been grieving since yesterday afternoon. I’m working out of town again and am alone with my thoughts. God bless Charlie’s family and soothe their hearts. My sentiments range even now. The best tribute I can give about him for those who love and admire him is that he fought the good fight. He finished the course. He kept the faith.

Looks like progress has been made overnight in the hunt.

quote:
Authorities say they have tracked the suspected gunman's movements before, during, and after the fatal campus shooting that killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk and have recovered what they believe to be the weapon used.

Officials said the suspect arrived near the Utah Valley University campus at 11:52 a.m., moved through stairwells to a rooftop, fired from a shooting position, then fled across the roof, jumped from the building, and escaped into a nearby neighborhood. Investigators canvassed the area with witnesses and doorbell cameras.

"We do have good video footage of this individual. We are not going to release that at this time," an official said, noting forensic technologies are being used to identify the suspect.

Investigators confirmed they recovered a high-powered bolt-action rifle in a wooded area where the shooter fled. The FBI lab will analyze the weapon, along with collected footwear impressions, a palm print, and forearm imprints.

"The FBI laboratory will be analyzing this weapon," FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Bowles said, adding that more than 130 tips have already come in.

Authorities confirmed they have clear video of the suspect, described as appearing "college-age," but are not yet releasing images publicly.

"If we are unsuccessful in identifying them immediately, we will reach out for the public's help," Bowles said.

Officials stressed the shooting was a targeted attack and that the wider community is not believed to be at risk. The investigation remains ongoing with local, state, and federal agencies involved.

"The FBI has brought every resource to bear, and we will continue to do so throughout the course of this investigation," an official said.

I don't see where it was noted to be specifically iron sighted.

Plenty of surplus Mauser rifles were sporterized into deer rifles and drilled and tapped to have scopes added, along with being rechambered/rebarreled into common American hunting cartridges, cut down, restocked, etc. Very common in the 50s-80s when surplus rifles were dirt cheap and widely available.

In fact, it wasn't noted to be a surplus military Mauser either, just an "older model". Lots of commercial production Mauser hunting rifles were imported over the past 100+ years too, many/most of which were capable of having scopes mounted.

A 200 yard shot on a stationary man-sized target with a .30-06 hunting rifle - especially with a scope - doesn't require extreme luck or exceptional skill.

Mother took a pronghorn at just under 500 yards with an iron sighted 1903-A3. But she was a helluva a shot.

And if this is a sporterized Mauser '98 action from WWII, the trace will go no where. No records were kept back then.

Service rifle shooters reach out to 600 yards over irons.

Exactly...
But I couldn't do it with iron sights. The old eyes need a scope.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Again, there's no specific indication that it was made with iron sights.

We don't know yet.

I mean who gives a fuck? Really? Each time we tend to speculate these morons out to be some kind of Jason Bourne. They aren’t meat eater super assassins. They are the left doing what the left does. They don’t have to be good, only lucky.

Easy shot with a scope, not so easy for most with irons unless you have good eyesight. Accuracy-wise, it's not particularly challenging for any decent rifle/ammo combo with practice.

How many military Mausers were chambered in 30-06?

Who said it was military? But even if it is, there are a few. Belgium and some South American countries used Mausers in 30-06, just to name a few off the top of my head. Interarms also imported many FN commercial Mausers in 30-06 in the 60s and 70s.

Charlie was assassinated because he is a bible believing Christian.
He still is.

Anybody claiming otherwise needs to wake up to the persecution.

He is with the Almighty now, and HE avenges His children.

Yep. Belgium, Norway, and Columbia were the main three I can recall. (I don't have my reference books handy to give a more complete answer.)

But as I noted, postwar civilian conversions of surplus rifles into .30-06 hunting rifles were extremely common.

And Mauser made commercial hunting rifles in a wide variety of popular calibets too, for well over a century. Including .30-06 rifles.

"Older model Mauser rifle" doesn't have to mean "military surplus".

The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.

The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.
