Click on pictures to enlarge.Dallas, TX—On November 22, 1963 the act of a dysfunctional creep took the life of an American President, John F. Kennedy. Killing a president is a pointless act because he is followed by a Vice President that shares the same views.
I have been convinced that Lee Oswald wanted to be a big man in Fidel Castro’s eyes and get a hero’s welcome in Cuba. Oswald had no financing or resources to further his deed.
Oswald bought the rifle used for a mere $20.00. It was an unpopular, bolt-action 6.5MM Italian war surplus rife barely adequate for the job.
On the same Klein’s Sporting Goods ad was the venerable US Army, 30.06, M-1 Grand, semi-automatic rifle. The Garand has much more power, accuracy and the ability of firing more than twice the number of shots in the same time limitations. The Garand cost $90.00 and was listed in the same advertisement.
Additionally there were a number of powerful, accurate hunting style rifles that could have been purchased with fine optical scopes that would have produced shot groups no bigger than a quarter at that distance.
Had there been a conspiracy the people involved would have insisted a much better rifle was used. Oswald had little money from a low paying job and could not afford something better. As a former Marine he had his training with the Garand. Oswald would have stuck to what he was most familiar with but simply did not have the money.
