AOC to Secret Service Dir.: Why Is the Secret Service Protective Perimeter Shorter than AR-15 Range?

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Now, that — that build was I believe 500 — how far away was that building from — from the president?"

CHEATLE: "It was approximately 200 yards."

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "200 yards. Now, the individual used an AR-15 in order to act out his assassination attempt. AR-15 has a range of about 400 to 600 yards. My question is, why does the Secret Service perimeter — why is the Secret Service protective perimeter shorter than one of the most popular semi-automatic weapons in the United States?"
