Collapseful stock means that it's adjustable to suit the shooter doesn't make the gun more deadly. JFC 🤦♂️
Collapsing stock moves like what 4-5 inches to adjust length of pull for shooter. They will be outlawing adjustable stocks next.
…. he didn’t say it makes it more deadly. it makes it more discreet.
@@srttrap8752it doesn’t though, anybody who’s used an AR knows that
Did the rifle have a scope? --- "I don't know(?)" How is possible the director of the FBI does not know if the shooter's rifle had a scope....
It's not possible...
I heard someone on an interview with Tucker Carlson that he used iron sights
@@woodman1701that’s not hard to do at 100 yards away.
@@MAquiNAroJA12
I also heard he aimed the AR at the cop. The cop ducked back down.
Then the shooter aimed back at Trump and started firing.
I doubt I’d could hit a person’s head at 170 yards with iron sights. Especially swinging the gun around.
I’ve heard there are plenty that could. But this guy would have been chock full of adrenaline too.
@@woodman1701Me too, so it would reduce his signature to the snipers. Then the FBI director said he did not use the ladder to get on the roof instead he used the drain duct on the side of the building. That makes me think he used it as a decoy witch coincides with the SS and State Police loosing track of him. The more info that comes out the more I am starting to realize the depth of thought and planning this kid put into this. Im starting to lean away from the whole idea that the SS and police just completely botched it. This little MF’er was slick.
95% or more of AR style rifles have collapsible stocks.
He doesn't remember if he had a scope. You're kidding me.
I didn't believe you till i heard it myself
Was it the collapsable stock that made the Police, Secret Service and FBI lose track of the shooter after he was walking around with a range finder? Or was that just pure negligence? 😅
Collapsible stock=cloak of invisibility.
@@iwantfree9257you mean that’s an *assault collapsable stock
@@MAquiNAroJA12 you mean a fully semi automatic assault collapsible stock
neither. it was permitted
director knows that there was a collapsible stock.... has no fuqing idea if it had a scope?!?!
Because the stock is one of the 'features' that they use to form policy to confiscate arms. The Supreme Court has been busy recently concerning gun 'regulation' issues with the tri-letter agencies. They ignore scopes because that's a losing issue from the start because they've been in public use for so long and their being so essential to hunting.
@@johnliller ahhh, that's why the director mentioned that the collapsible stock kept witnesses from identifying a gun as a gun. He wants to sell that BS as a reason for more gun control
Do yall get the feeling they are blaming AR15s 😂
Harris is going to get them banned again. Start crying.
Those pesky weapons are always getting into the hands of bad people and the collapsible stock is the most guilty of all! Wray is not responsible for the crimes he's worked on because he used the shooter to get plausible deniability 😂
I was looking at what it means when the FBI takes over an investigation labeled as "domestic terrorism" and in some definitions in their website they mention that things like the 1st ammendment protect their own research. So in that sense, people (only US citizens!) is literally protected by law from FBI when they may be threatening but that obscures FBI's ability to prevent threats. While the website says nothing about the 2nd ammendment, my guess is that it also implies people are not investigated on grounds protected by ammendments.
So in this sense, I believe with this system of law, the US allows to have more of a "me above everyone else" attitude, which unfortunately would yield to more expensive domestic protection costs for high-profiles and most likely disappearance of foreign-visits (which can easily become virtual anyway).
The bottom line is that FBI seems to me hand-tied when it comes to its own people. Perhaps the middle-ground is that everyone has the right to own weapons but they must be registered federally? Would that make any sense?
@@chriscordray8572 Absolutely! It is ludicrous how they are trying to tie the semi automatic AR-15 to everything crime related. They make it sound like it is a military grade M-16 for effect. We should start calling it what it really is, a .223!
A collapsible stock makes the rifle completely invisible, not 3-4 inches adjustable. I put a collapsible stock on my head and walk around naked because it cloaks my body. Very cool.
We have an FBI director with collapsible ethics and morals.
But I thought Orange Sphincter only hires the best people. Or has MAGAt world forgotten that the lier in chief appointed this guy?
😂😂😂
@@doitdoitright5916 🤣
Lmao
8 shots from the AR?? Audio files from the event say otherwise.
I agree. We can hear three different sound signatures. 3 long echo shots followed by 4 fast paced shots with zero echo and one high power shot.
What the hell does that have to do with anything??? WAKE up AMERICA 🇺🇸
Sorry excuse for an agenda. And it did NOT help hide that rifle. If it was in a backpack, it was in two pieces. The barrel was of legal length (16.5"+)...
@@Bill-vo1wn I think they still are unaware that you can no longer pee up the backs of “We The People” and tell them it’s raining?
It was an 18 or 20 inch rifle. Adjustable stock has nothing to do with it!
How does he not know or remember basic information? Like if there is a scope?
The type of collapsible stock only reduces over all length of the rifle by 6 ish inching. Keep in mind he didn't say folding... collapsible is different from folding.
6 inches isnt nothing.
I’m sure we are supposed to just go with whichever type terrifies us more, conflate the two, and then ignore all logic & reason.
Just about all AR 15 have an adjustable stock but he call it collapsible. I do not believe that anymore than he does not know whether it had a scope
He explains things like a teenager would explain how he wrecked his car. 😅
Why did you put collapsible stock like if that made a difference
Easier to conseal with a collapsible stock.
Gun control comercial
@@kennethwright7484Not really. It could just be disassembled instead.
Actually, it is less stable than a fixed stock.
Talking about concealment when spotted by Principal Operatives and every T, D, and Mary before and way before shots down range.
The REAL question, is What Color was the weapon?😂
😂 That would be my ?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“FBI director confirmed shooter used Reebok active socks”
How do I know he had a scope just by looking at the pics of his gun and this Expert director doesn’t lol
This is beyond brain dead. This must be a simulation.
YES, BUT, THERE ARE RECORDINGS OF ALL 8 SHOTS, AT LEAST 4 OF THE SHOTS WERE FROM DIFFERENT DISTANCES. RIGHT, WRAY?
Q: " ... and did the recovered shells ... the cartridges, match the shooters rifle?" A: "My recollection is yes?" Wow! Is that an accurate recollection? Y'sure about that?
not exactly the type of question whose answer one wouldn't be sure of
Oh noooooooo!! A collapsable stock!!!
😂exactly!!!
To the Uninformed, they will hear collapsible and think of folding.
@IDK_Mr.M that's what I think. What is it?
@joetatoesniff9525 can make the rifle 3 inches shorter or 3 inches longer. Basically, it turns it into a bazooka.
Some ARs have stocks with variable length but generally the buffer tube prevents a real folding stock
Sig MCX and many other “AR style” firearms dont need a buffer tube, but yea I get your point
Why is he being so fidgety?
Lying does that to a person
Guilty
Talking in front of congress and under oath AND on broadcast television would make many nervous.
@@jarrettthomas4865most people would be nervous testifying like this, even speaking honestly.
on top of that, many people are uneasy being on camera OR the center of attention.
@claireconover he is the Director of the FBI!!! He speaks in front of large crowds often. He is lying! Get your head out of your A$$!!!
WHY did the SS countersniper wait for the bad guy to start shooting!? And WHY did the SSCS wait for 8 shots before taking him out!?
Oh no not a collapsible stock!😮😮 The world is going to end. A collapsible stock was used!! It's the END of DAYS.
Swallwell has set the stage for a repeat of the Russian election interference narrative.
The guy with red hair and cap with hair saw him carrying the gun up the ladder
Here comes the attacks on adjustable stocks, and the 2nd amendment...
The foldable stock has nothing to do with the failure to protect Trump. Always try to make it about gun control. All those people on the ground knew he was a threat. If armed probably would have stopped the threat.
You win!
Folding and collapsing stocks are not the same thing.
First clue is he had a range finder
Gun control comercial
More genius takes on firearms..."collapsible stock" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. GARBAGE.
I thought everyone would would already assumed that the weapon would have been disassembled to fit in the bag found on the rooftop, then reassembled on the roof where the bag was found discarded.
This administration is $tupid from the top down.
Will we ever see the gun? How about his parents statements and backgounds? Why is there a picture of his graduation but he isn't in yearbook? If there was no ladder in site how did he get on the roof? What happened to the ladder he bought at Home Depot? Will we ever see a picture of his vehicle? On and on.
He's conveniently leaving out the second rifle fire that came from 75-95 feet past crooks position. You can clearly hear two distinct rifles firing in the audio analysis. If the fbi doesn't acknowledge the second shooter, then one can deduct that shooter to be a deep state actor. Maybe a dhs officer who trained with crooks at the gun range. Or the fbi agent who visited crooks family home several times as well as crooks traveling to DC to meet him several times near the FBI HQ. But sound analysis proved there were two shooters. Whoever the second one was. The fbi needs to find him. Unless he was one of them. Then they'll say crooks acted alone.
bingo!
that's a whole lot of maybes. maybe it was one mtg's space lasers.
@user-qz5ei3fi7s The "maybes" are why investigations are needed. And with the fbi past behavior I don't trust them at all investigating anything having to do with Donald Trump.
This guy does not know how to ask questions. What a joke!
Yeah, they lost track of him because LE magically couldn’t see the 30” weapon after it was made 2” shorter via the collapsible stock 🤣😂
A collapsible stock on an AR doesn't shrink it that much.. It was a summer day so it wasn't under a parka.
So Wray can say how many spent cartridges were found but not Cheatle?
they hadn't finalized that part of the story yet
He said he wasn’t sure. How can they NOT know that by now….
@@scottt6298 Story is the perfect description.
So what?! 🤦🏻♀
Why is this man stumbling answering the QUESTIONS AND HE IS THE HEAD OF THE INVESTIGATION FBI (DIRECTOR WRAY)
NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL 🤔
Because the questions are so strange and often strangely phrased. At his level, the witness would reasonably expect questions about policies, resources, decisions made by him or close to him, and the like, not questions that he might ask of his agents as they collect information.
Collapsible stock oh my gosh.... the barrel is 16 inches or 18 inches, still legal...
39 inches - so visible, it's a rifle!
34 inches - totaly something else. A hair dryer, maybe.
All an adjustable stock does is allow for adjustment of length of pull in order to fit the operator for more accurate deployment of the weapon. Short arms or wearing body armor? Shorten it up. Tall and lanky wearing a t-shirt? Stretch that thang on out.
Wray up here grasping at straws trying to (in any way) shift focus from crazy person to inanimate object in order to punish the law abiding for the actions of an idiot.
They come unprepared to answer questions!!! Why bother with this colossal waste of time? What about the people who visited the shooter . We won’t find out anything here. Stop these stupid hearings!!!!!!
A collapsible stock only reduces the gun by like 5".... its more like a "slightly adjustable " stock.
This waa a long gun even with it "collapsed" you aren't hiding it
Watching this & casually glancing over at all of my AR15’s with collapsible stocks.
He's lying, shooter fired 3 shots, there were 8 shots total that were recorded, the gun fire was different ranges, with the longest shot at 650 to 700' possibly from the 3rd set of snipers
Push to ban firearms with collapsible stocks is next.
That's a very misleading statement by the Feds. A "collapsible" stock only shortens that very lengthy rifle from about 34.5" to just 32.5" (hardly concealable in a backpack) as opposed to a folding stock that would reduce it by another foot (and the Director of the Feds would certainly know the difference).
So who gives a rats rear end what kind of stock was on the shooters rifle? Some of these questions are outlandish.
So? What's your point? Cosmetics don't make a weapon more dangerous than any other. It's the operator you need to look at!
Yes 99 percent of all AR's have collapsable stocks. So what. Some even have triggers , mag well and sights. Sounds like these questions are just to eat up time with no real meaning.
You all see where this is going
"Did he have a scope?"
> "I don't remember."
How do randos on RUclips know more about the rifle used in a terror attack against a former president than the FBI director?
Big deal even when the stalk is collapsed the rifle still meets the requirements of the law, all a collapsable stock does it move two or three adjustments rearward to make the rifle more comfortable to multiple sized people shooting it, the stalk does not disappear.
Yea wait til they hear about bullpups…
Why would anyone in a right mind believe Wray. He has already destroyed his credibility.
Be clear when asking your questions Senator. Speak simply. Speak clearly.
Also had a ladder, was the ladder also a collapsible stock?
Not a word about the ladder....
There was no ladder. He climbed up on an AC unit. The ladder was used by the teams to access the roof afterwards.
Wray is surprisingly knowledgeable and detailed about Crooks' plans, drone activity, and his whereabouts before the shooting. Kinda reminds me of how criminals make up detailed stories for police interrogations. They definitely created a good story. I wonder if they hired someone from Hollywood to write the script.
They should ask for their money back if that's the case. Pretty lame, holes all through the plot. Actually just like modern day movies!
@@scottt6298 didn't say it was written up to Spielberg standards😂
OH NO! Not a collapsible stock something that makes a rifle...slightly more comfortable to shoot and in no way effects the firearm in any tangible way!
So for those of you thinking a collapsible/adjustable stock means anything at all with an AR-15, it doesn’t.
It’s simply and adjustment for comfort while shooting.
There isn’t enough movement to make the firearm hide from view.
It only shortens the overall length a few inches.
If it was a smaller firearm than an AR with a long skeleton stock than maybe it’d do what that guy was describing.
Several legit officers said there was no scope on assassin rifle. Extremely difficult shot at 140yards open sights on 8" plate
Supposedly he used red laser dot not open sights or scope
How about the fact that there’s a video of the shooter walking around? How about the range finder? How about the fact that people notified the cops about the guy? How about the statement of the secret service boss not deploying personnel on the roof because it was sloped?
It’s a coverup
he knows about collapsable stock, but not if it had a scope? placement of the body was to far down the slope of roof to shoot from the ridge, and rifle certainly would not end up 8 feet away
FBI director, that doesn't know the difference between a cartridge and a casing. My question would have been, where in the crowd where the other people who were shot and killed. Where are they behind Trump? Were they in the line of fire. From crooks weapon.
more likely in line with the open window
That has absolutely nothing to do with the price of rice in China!!
Christopher Wray is a terrible liar.
They can't hide their lying eyes.
He isn’t sure how many casing there are??? What?
Look at the new footage released from the officers on the roof. The rifle laying a couple of feet away from the shooter ( the one he supposedly used ) did not have a collapsible stock. Whose rifle was that? No scope. Looked like a red dot with a flip up front sight from what I could make out. Also looked like a 10 round magazine.
from what i read indeed there was a red dot scope with no magnifiers, at his car they found 3 x 30 round magazines so i imagine a same one must be used but he didnt carried any other magazin on him, that is strange...
This rifle is on the M4 platform.
Biggs- "How many shells were found?"
Wray-"At least 8 shells..."
Amazing the degree of clarity that officials like Wray deign to grant us peasants.
Biggs- "Did he have a scope?"
Wray- "I think so???"
How tf is the person asking questions not facepalming? Wray is so slimy and slippery here it's absurd. These are basic pieces of information, being trickled out as slow as they can manage to, in the most ambiguous way possible.
These pos are literally just killing time & putting on a show hoping the American public will buy this load of horseshit and go back to sleep... so they can get back to running the country however tf they want behind our backs and taking out anyone too threatening to their agendas of constant war profiteering and tax theft
Any word on the shoulder thing that goes up?
It weighs as much as 10 boxes.
When you hear "I'm told..." you can safely assume that whatever follows is as accurate as hearsay. He was told by who? They really think we're stupid. Dude, this is your only job, if you really don't know, hop on your private jet and go there and look at it yourself, count the bullets ask who collected it, look at the camera footage. You know, do the things that any 12 year old with a cell-phone can figure out.
The more info that comes out the more I am starting to realize the depth of thought and planning this kid put into this. Im starting to lean away from the whole idea that the SS and police just completely botched it. This little MF’er was slick.
No more god damn attorneys !
Oh my God!
He ACTUALLY answered a question!
The Matrix has official broke down!
Biggs is asking the nonsense questions with not clean sound, people voted for this type person to serve Americans ???
Wray has the training and instructions from his handlers to lie in this matter, and I clearly hear that taking place during this session. He and the agency are complicit.
And next we will find out that it had the shoulder thing that goes up.
but the important question boxers or briefs?
Was trump really the Target or did he just get in the way ?
They're not after me They're after you😅
Talk about being a psychopathic agency . Create the issue then try to make it appear like your the HERO
Since when does he answer questions about ongoing investigations? Now he can't wait to answer questions?! Something odd going on for sure there!
Can you say COVER UP..
The vice president is saying alot of lies an crap too!
He doesn't have much more relevant information than the former ss director
DirectorRay:
How tall was the back of that building?
How tall was Crooks?
How did Crooks get on that roof WITH an assault weapon; ammo, his radio, his device's and denator, his weapon unnoticed!
How did he get his gun on the roof without being seen until he was prone and ready to fire?
How did the secret serve agents PLACED directly behind Crooks fail to notify the Potus of this imminent threat. How did the the assassination fail to neutralize the shooter before shot #1 or 2 or 3 or 5 or 5 or 6? HOW DEADLY SERUIUS was prevention treated by the secret Service Director. Two weeks after the fact and she has ZERO answers for either party. She should be court marshaled d all benefits revoked.
Biden picked her. And he will pick her replacement. Nobody is safe!
Director Ray: was the firearm used by Crooks already on the roof prior to the shooting? his firearm -with his firearm?
Yes, lets blame the gun! Im still waiting for the government to blame alchohol for alcohol related deaths we have every singe year.
Wray is purposefully vague on number of shell casings and autopsy. Audio of ballistics suggests 7 shots, with different sound reports. Stinky . . . .
This is a false narrative. With few exceptions, all modern AR-15's come from the manufacturer with an adjustable (collapsible) stock. Wray should know the difference between a collapsible stock and a foldable stock. In any case, the stock typically has a fairly small footprint. The bigger challenge (for concealment) comes courtesy of the standard 16-inch barrel. Anything shorter requires specific approval of the ATFE. Trying to get that approval from ATFE (for a SBR) can take upwards of a year.
That is not relevant to anything
There is a drone video recording. Wray is lying More lies.
Collapseabl stock only shortens the stock by maybe 5 inches
Outlaw drones!
The first 3 sound way different than the last 5 ! They are lying about the cartridges
You'll never get a straight answer from Wray
Yeah, and? WTF does that have to do with anything? A long gun is a long gun, collapsible stock or not.
