Can you point me to that SS statement? I have a friend already crowing about how it was an AR15.

Donated to act blue. That would be odd for a Republican.

I learned that Pa is a closed primary state and there was an effort to deny delegates to Trump by voting for Hailey.

I was just pointing out the absurdity of the media. Half were saying it was a loud noise thst scared him. I have to vote Democrat in my area if I want to vote for my local people. Doesn't seem odd to me.

It definitely wasn't an AR15. If it had been they would have been holding it up and showing it like a trophy all day long. That's why they're calling it an "AR15 style" rifle. I believe it was a 22lr because that's what it sounded like to me and that;s why they won't talk about or show the gun. I'm looking for official verification of what it actually was so I can shut my friend up.

I went back to the group where it was posted and can’t find the post anywhere the poster was a PA cop but I can’t even find him now….
