Yeah at this point ... this is probably not a good idea.
Further: That's a casing from a pistol round, probably 9mm, not a necked casing from a hunting rifle.
Apparently, the entire 'trans ideology on the casings' thing ... came from our favorite divorced domestic abuser Steven Crowder, who claims that basically just someone in the ATF just sent either their own opinion or a prelim. analysis to him.
Then, as best I can tell... the WSJ just ran with that, and then everyone else did.
Then the NYT appears to have actually attempted to do journalism, reached out to the ATF for comment/verification, and they basically said 'wtf no, that document is preliminary at best and should not be seen as accurate'... which to me implies they couldn't even be 100% certain as to what specific document Crowder / WSJ was even referring to.
So... hooray journalism I guess, basically everything is a wildly irresponsible gossip rag right now.
EDIT:
Handy dandy idiots guide to bullet cartridge calibers and casings, if anyone cares.
Your modern rifle rounds are generally gonna be necked like the .223/5.56, generally taller, generally larger bullets.
bullet = part that hits thing you are aiming at, ideally.
casing = part that holds gunpowder, has primer, gets hit by firing pin, must be cleared from the chamber before next shot.
cartridge/round = the whole package, all together.
There are still some non necked, straight cased rounds like the 30 30, still somewhat common in lever action ("cowboy repeater") type rifles/carbines.
There are also some smaller rounds that are necked, basically tiny, scaled down rifle style rounds, that are geared toward varmint hunting, or a personal defense context, via moving a smaller and lighter bullet faster, with relatively more gunpowder behind it.... used variously in more niche pistols, rifles, pdws, carbines.
5.7 x 28mm (the 5-7 / P90), 4.6 x 30mm (the MP7), .17 HMR (decent array of varmint rifles), etc.
Guys, guys, guys! It's a shitpost collage I edited myself and posted in the according community. Seems like I need a big disclaimer.
I am not gonna tell you what to and to not post.
That would be unimaginably ironic.
I'm not even a mod ... or anything like that.
I am gonna say that I really hope your online profile cannot be easily tied back to your actual identity... by either random people with a vendetta... and/or possibly any information within the purview of being obtained by some kind of warrant (or DOGE style break-in) from the US government, or maybe by being leaked from some kind of right wing person that works for an ISP. Or VPN!
Things are looking awfully dicey right now.
The entire problem with a bunch of very, very angry and distraught people, is that they tend to believe whatever the fuck they want to, to justify and amplify their anger.
After all, in a highly emotional state, one's feelings do not really rationally consider or evaluate any kind of facts.
And, I guess you could say that I am deadly serious about that.
EDIT:
in case you are unaware

this exists.
So... yeah.
Looks to me they are building a sort of Purge / 'day of the rope' type hitlist.
Thank you for going so far thinking about my safety. That's rare. Thank you for that.
I am from another problematic state, so I'm probably safe posting that. But being there on Lemmy I feel a kind of a second-hand involvement with what haunts americans whose news are frequent there. And talking about that, making shitposts, I feel relieve as I say what I want to actually say about my own state, but would be ruined if I do.
Hah, yeah, no problem on looking out for your safety.
And yeah, I did the American thing of assuming whoever I am talking to is also American by default, unless otherwise indicated...
But yeah, it sounds like you understand my genuine safety concern as an overriding default, at this point in time.
We russians assume just as well, and have a lot of strikingly similar behavioral patterns when we are at our lowest. I don't know which country is going faster in it's race to the bottom, and I am of course to egoistically assume it's mine. But, either way, take and have as much care as you wished me <3

Was going to say, weren't they claiming the round was from a 30.06? It should be necked and considerably longer.
This is turning into a worse frame up job than Luigi. Does the DoJ just tell local authorities to find a scapegoat if the shooter can't be found in 12-24 hours?
I have been over in another thread trying to figure this out.
putting this all in spoiler tags to not blow up the formatting of the thread
What was originally claimed was 'an older 30.06 Mauser', but that seems unlikely, primarily because almost no Mausers, K98k's, are chambered in 30.06, they're almost all in 7.92x57mm, which is not a 30.06, that'd be 7.62x63mm in metric.
Also... yeah, it does seem like an actual 30.06, at that range of approximately 150 to 200 yards/meters... would have made a lot bigger of a hole, entry and exit wound.... more like just a good chunk of his whole neck blasted off/apart, than the hole that we saw.
Uh, finally... this is the image from the New York Post going around that apparently is the weapon.
This (in my semi informed, and based off a low quality image, opinion) is not an older Mauser.
It is probably a Remington 700, or Ruger American, probably from roughly the 90s or 00's, probably in .270 or .243 or something like that.
Basically, this looks like a roughly 20 to 30 yo, extremely common, bolt action deer hunting rifle in the US.
Let me try to figure out how to link to my own comment in another thread.

It is looking to me like uh, what a surprise, initial reports are sloppy, vague and innacurate, great job Kash Patel on not having an actual suspect within 24 hrs, I guess tweeting that you've apprehended the suspect (who was actually the wrong guy) was more important.
Oh god this is all so very, very stupid.
This is not even a frame up job at this point, this is pure fucking chaos, everyone, including the head of the FBI, seem to be more or less just be making shit up and running with whatever their gut instinct is, or first thing they heard from some guy.
