Here's what I wonder: How many of those "protesters" milling around the guy
actually were Secret Service agents ready to take him out if he made the
wrong move? How many .300 Win. Mag sniper rifles were trained on him by SS
sharpshooters?

Probably few to none. More likely .308 (7.62mm) for routine sniper
work, .338 Lapua for longer ranges.
