It makes sense if you need to reload. Witnesses said they saw Oswald through them in the bushes as he ran to E. Jefferson Blvd.
“Oswald was able to hit a target at 200 yards with an open sight.”
And your point is? Was he shooting a moving target, with the pressure of murdering a president?
“Ever been hunting?”
Yes.
“There is always a possibility he got the shot just right. Like a golfer getting a hole in one.”
Possibility??? Nothing like possibilities to prove your point.
“The doctors who did not witness the shooting made a hurried look at Kennedy while trying to keep him alive... Do not trust hurried guessing on this.”
Hurried??? Guessing???
Does it require guessing to look at gaping wounds? But the doctors themselves thought they had enough time to assess the wounds.
Did not realize you were there at the time.
One of those doctors, an old man now, wrote a book describing what he saw. He was old and did not fear for his life, as many, many people who looked into the murder died early.
“There has been a SS person who said he pocketed the bullet and placed it on the stretcher? Who? What is his name.”
“Paul Landis, an 88-year-old former Secret Service agent who witnessed the president’s death at close range, says in new memoir that he took a bullet from the car after Mr Kennedy was shot, and then left it on the former president’s stretcher at the hospital.”
“You use Congress and a fact? Boy is that naive.”
You use the Warren Commission, appointed by Congress, as a fact? Boy is that naive.
I am not an expert on firearms, but how do you differentiate the bullets by brand? Casings, for sure, but I am not sure of the bullets. Did they do a lead composition test on the bullets as they did for Oswald’s bullets found in the sniper’s perch, in order to compare them to the bullets and fragments of bullets found in the assassination of Kennedy?
The hole is too small for it to be from a whole bullet. So you cannot use you bullet.... claim.

Never read the Warren Commission Report. So drop your ridiculous claim that I follow that.
A moving target? If you look at the downward slope of Elm Street, Oswald had a target that was not moving left or right in his view, but slightly downhill. The limo was not moving fast. At 68 yards in a scope it would not have been that difficult. so that enhances his shot percentages.
Landis, on the approaching 50th anniversary of the Assassination, said: “Oswald. Three shots. That was it. He was a creep who got lucky,” Landis said. “Just some nut who, for some reason, everything went his way that day.” Akron Beacon Journal, Nov 17, 2013. Snopes has nothing about it.
The BBC in 2023 says this: “In an interview with the New York Times, Mr Landis said that after the motorcade arrived at the hospital, he spotted a bullet lodged in the Kennedy’s car behind where the president had been sitting.
He picked it up and pocketed it. Shortly after, in his recollections, he was in an emergency room with President Kennedy, where he said he placed it on the president’s gurney so the evidence would travel with the body.” I do not buy this. Seems like he was trying to sell his book, I would assume this was from the backside of the seat Kennedy was sitting in the limo. No, that bullet would have been buried in the seat, not just sitting there. I do not believe this to be true. And you were there??
I have seen the analysis and though you can never say with 100 percent certitude, all bullets and fragments show they came from the same lot. They could do laser ablation on them today, the same as you see on The Curse of Oak Island.
I heard recently that some or all of them have gone missing. Forget where but it was in the last three months.
Yes- the tech today would give more precise data.
So 60 years after? Not buying that.
It’s a stretch, agreed.
“Never read the Warren Commission Report. So drop your ridiculous claim that I follow that.”
There may be ten people alive now who read that nonsense. But its conclusion, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted along, and there were only three shots, hinges on the acceptance of the magic bullet theory. So, yes, you follow the Warren
Commission.
“A moving target? If you look at the downward slope of Elm Street, Oswald had a target that was not moving left or right in his view, but slightly downhill. The limo was not moving fast. At 68 yards in a scope it would not have been that difficult. so that enhances his shot percentages.”
That statement is useless since it strictly conjecture on your part.
“Snopes has nothing about it.”
You might be the only person left who places credence in Snopes.
“I do not buy this. Seems like he was trying to sell his book, I would assume this was from the backside of the seat Kennedy was sitting in the limo. No, that bullet would have been buried in the seat, not just sitting there. I do not believe this to be true.”
Now, that is rich. Are you a forensic expert? And you would assume...
Are we supposed to impressed with what you do not, personally, believe.
“And you were there??”
Extremely illogical question to ask, since you are the one discounting everybody that was actually there, in preference to ideas you pull out of your ass.
The so-called Magic Bullet shot has been proven to be feasible. AS far as the shot, I use my own observations, but I have said I am not an expert on firearms. I use the opinion of what experts have said along with video testimony from experts who say this was not a difficult shot. I have been to the site many times, and viewed the traffic on Elm Street from the ground and by standing next to the sniper’s nest. And some analysis of Zapruder film. No one was firing from the grassy knoll. Forget that claptrap.
As far as the ad hominem attacks, how old are you? 15?
“As far as the ad hominem attacks, how old are you? 15?”
Damn, you smoked me out.
“The so-called Magic Bullet shot has been proven to be feasible.”
No, this conversation is over. You are a liar or not very smart.
You have never seen the video of the Australian experts who duplicated the shot through body doubles. And declaring this conversation over is the tactic of Democrats.
What in the world are you talking about now? I never disavowed that sentence. I was responding to what *you* said in response to me.
Grow up.
It’s pointless. Factual information obviously has no bearing on what some people want to believe.
It’s been replicated more than once, not just by the Australian experts. It isn’t “magic” - it is physics.
It appears it was over before it started. What he said was a completely true and backed up by actual evidence, which as I said above can be verified with even a cursory amount of research. The way the bullet travelled has been replicated more than once, as I also noted above - it is called physics, not "magic." You just flail your arms in a profanity-laden rage of insults when someone brings factual and truthful information into the discussion. Holding tight to a mythology you want to believe is true, but is not supported by any actual evidence.
Yeah, this crappola comes out several times a year, but mostly for ob reasons in November. At least no one said this time he was shot from the sewer or the SS agents in the following car shot him. Thanks for your reply..
