    It was a bolt action rifle, not an AR like was used in the Trump shooting, you aren’t going to fire 3 rounds before you know what the first one did. And you are assuming an average person in a mental state that both understands and cares about the sanctity of life.

      and, why not? Oswald famously managed to fire three deadly accurate (magical, even) bullets from his Carcano 38 within mere 7 seconds.

        Oswald was a marine.

        His target was moving and he had a very limited line of site, and still managed to hit 2 out of 3 shots.

        That kinda shit is what professional shooters can do.

        This was 1 shot at a fairly standard range on a target literally sitting in a chair on a well lit stage. You don’t need to be a professional to make that shot. I’ve had friends on their first day shooting make shots like that with a decent rifle, some coaching, and about 10 rounds of practice at shorter ranges.
