I’m a reasonable person. From the Zapruder film shows them getting hit at nearly the same time (since they are emerging from behind the road sign, exact point of impact isn’t possible to determine) by the same bullet.
Therefore your hypothesis holds no water.

FACT: It’s easy and can be done with almost no prior experience.
FACT: Oswald qualified as a sharpshooter in the Marines.
My opinion: A Boy Scout can fire that many shots in that amount of time with the same size target and range. Only the Boy Scout wouldn’t miss on the first shot. Where the issue starts is it’s impossible to recreate an exact shot and have a bullet richochet or break apart EXACTLY like another bullet.
I think the argument is the time and accuracy. Oswald was not a “crack shot” sniper. The first shot misses, the second two hit their mark, farther down range and with better accuracy? This, I believe is where the line of questions should go. IMO of course.
Yeah, plus Jackie scrambling out on the trunk to grab his skull? On every forensic show I have seen the bullet makes a smaller entry wound and then blows out the other side. Conolly should have had skull on him not the trunk?
There they go again! Leaving out Ron Paul!
:o)
Oswald had the same training that I have had.
I suspect that most folks who are into this conspiracy stuff just don't want to admit that their demi-god Kennedy was killed by a loser with a cheap rifle.
Staggering, but true. A loser with a cheap rifle changed history.
Oswald’s Rifle:
6.5 x 52 mm Italian Mannlicher-Carcano M91/38 bolt-action rifle with a six-round magazine
Serial number C2766
Western Cartridge Co. ammunition with a 160 grain (10.37 g) round nose bullet
Side-mounted Ordnance Optics 4 x 18 telescopic sight
That particular rifle - the 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano - has a fairly stiff bolt and a badly placed bolt handle which limits its ability to be used in rapid fire
You have not a single fact for your childish accusation. LBJ was riding in the motorcade. I don’t think his arms were long enough to reach up to the sixth floor.
Now if you’re even remotely serious, explain just how the assassination happened. Where were the shooters, how many shots, what were the trajectories and which wounds were caused by which bullet.
FACT: You can’t do it. All you have is worthless accusations.
Italians take four hour lunches. Is anyone suprised they can’t do anything fast?
Yeah, so Government workers are less efficient, and Union workers are even more than less efficient.
Why don't we let you prove that the Warren Commission was right about Oswald's capacity to fire three shots in 19 seconds.
Then we'll all know the truth.
I don’t think there was a shooter #2 or a shooter #3.
But a shooter 2.5? Hmm, interesting....
Reminds me of the old joke:
Q. Who put the 3 bullets in Mussolini?
A. 15 Italian marksmen.
It is difficult to fire a rifle three times when you are trained to put up both hands after the first shot.
“I saw a 70 year old man fire the same number of shots in that timeframe using the same rifle”.
I don’t think so (not that you’re reasonable—that I don’t know). But as they emerge from the sign Connally is still holding his hat, turning to look at JFK, who has clearly been hit. Connally partially turns one way, then the other, before he reacts to the impact of the bullet. Not a simultaneous or near-simultaneous hit, as would be the case with a bullet moving at several hundred feet per second.
As far as I am concerned, anyone who is willing to buy that garbage, is seriously suspect when it comes to free thinking.
If Oswald even had a real part in the slaying at all, he certainly did not act alone. I believe that he was indeed a “Patsy.”
Do you prefer Gore or Hillary in 2008?
Get you a high powered rifle and shoot a watermellon, it goes in every direction.
He said that the car was going down hill at that stretch, so, Oswald just had to chamber rounds and make very minor elevation adjustments.
