In your option on a scale of 1 to 10 - how badly did the Secret Service screw up?

I'm not a gun guy and I've been lazy (I only read the very short article) but to me it seems like a 10/10 "What the fuck were they thinking?" screw up.

Any rifle at that distance is sufficiently accurate for anyone with a little training.

That's like level 1 rifle distance.

A carbine is accurate at that distance.
