Thanks for posting, one of the best articles on this topic I have seen.
http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/lee-harvey-oswalds-carcano-rifle-shooting-it-today/
This gun website discusses the Carcano, I’m sure it would be of interest to folks here. Interesting comments too.
I read some of the Warren Commission Report on the gun too, when they tested it, they used some “shims” with it to fix the scope but apparently that’s not all there is to it.
Pearl Harbor?? Anyone?
It’s been 50 years, yes. Will we know what really went down? No. Was Kennedy assassinated? Yes. Did Ruby kill Oswald? Yes. Did the Serial Rape of America begin after that day? Yes. Who began all that? Democrats. Liberals. Progressives. Communists.
History says so.
The media is drumming the assassination of Kennedy. They hope to drown out other things of importance. It is said that continual coverage of a historical event, just might bring it back. I think the media better shut up, unless now that the boy-queer-king is not working out, they do not how else to get him out of there.
Thank you. At least there’ll be one bit of truth on this thread.
Yeah, I guess Gavrilo Princip doesn’t count. He only started WWI
“A point of view that traces its self back to 1963 and not before.”
Or maybe 1865!
“Co-conspirator Lewis Powell (or Paine/Payne) attempted to assassinate Secretary of State William Seward, but only managed to injure him. David Herold accompanied Powell. However, Herold fled before the deed was finished. At the same time, George Atzerodt was supposed to have killed Vice-President Andrew Johnson. Atzerodt did not go through with the assassination.”

And the article goes into it a bit more in depth.
Probably back to Shakespeare I suppose.
Oswald killed Kennedy, and he acted alone.
Oswald killed Kennedy, and he acted alone.
When the Warren Report was issued and documents sealed for 50 years, I wondered why it was sealed. Since the Kennedy Clan was not objecting to the conclusion, I felt that the perpetrators had been punished to the extent that they could be.
Many believed that the assassination was going to lead to war with the Russians. I always figured that Castro and some of his Soviet cohorts were the logical choice for who gave the orders to do it. Retaliation for the actions against Castro by USA/Kennedy.
If the trail led to Castro, and the Soviet Union, the American people would be livid, and demand retaliation which could lead to nuclear war. I figured they sealed it so that wouldn't happen. Figured Kennedy Clan went along with it so nuclear war would not be Kennedy's legacy, and to prevent total destruction of nuclear war.
There are several plausible theories and evidence to back it up, depending on how you interpret it. So all I can say is that there were likely several conspiracies against him, with various motives, and means to do it.
High on the list is Castro/Soviets hiring the mafia and programming Oswald. The recent movie on TV regarding the accidental shooting by a Secret Service Agent was also plausible to me.
As I said right after I watched Jack Ruby shoot Oswald: Now we'll never know for sure, because there won't be a trial and presentation of evidence that will be available to the American people in our lifetime.
JFK was trying to trap Oswald into a fatal mistake and knew his only way to succeed was to lure him into an assassination attempt. <8^0 /s
Vincent Bugliosi, is that you? LOL
“I’ll go with mafia for $1000.”
I never believed that was credible. Organized crime owned JFK. Why would they want to kill someone whom they could blackmail any time they wanted?
“Did the Serial Rape of America begin after that day?”
It began much earlier than that. Wilson, Roosevelt, and Roosevelt had things well under way before that.
“Organized crime owned JFK.”
That’s why JFK’s AG was prosecuting the mob? And the mob probably was trying to hit Havana as well in the invasions. Let alone, Jimmy Hoffa, Unions were in the scenario too.
You missed the point.
All conspiracy theories are not "invented because it makes us feel comfortable". Some would have us believe that they are. Especially since 1963 or at least after the Warren Commision when it became taboo to connect the dots between Oswald and his obvious KGB and Cuban connections and Ruby with his organized crime connections.
we humans are not comfortable believing that a single, unknown individual can have that much of an effect on our world. So we invent conspiracy theories because that makes us more comfortable.
Your original comment supports. that politically correct nonsense.
Oswald killed Kennedy.
Have you been to the Book Repository?
It wasn’t that hard of a shot.
Yup Teddy Roosevelt and congress at the turn of the century. Big government trumping big business in an anti trust fight . A century later it's now a complete government monopoly.
And of course I didn’t say that it wasn’t Oswald who shot and killed Kennedy.
Personally I think the mafia did it reason is Bobby Kennedy going after them even Sam Giancica rise up Chicago dead get the vote for JFK win in November 1960s
Also tick off with JFK admsiatnion for losing Mafia power in Cuba
