EVIDENCE — The post exists as quoted, dated April 11, 2026.[1] The ".30-06 question" refers to online ballistics debates about whether a .30-06 round could plausibly cause observed wounds in the Charlie Kirk assassination (September 2025), with @DataRepublican citing her son's deer hunt where a .30-06 round did not exit.[2][3][4] @grey4626 is a verified X account known for conservative commentary.[5] @DataRepublican is Jennica Pounds; her husband is Brent Pounds (former NOAA officer, distillery owner). No sources anywhere confirm his gun ownership, carrying habits, or the rant.[6][7]
