This thread is going to go one of two ways. Either it is going to get yanked rather quickly, or it is going to be one of the longest-running threads in FReep History.

I'll throw my two-cents in. I, like most everyone else I have ever talked to, believe there was a lot more buried by the Warren Commission report than was revealed. I, like most other people I know, do not believe Oswald acted alone.

Other than that, I have no idea. I do remember hearing that a number of Marine snipers tried to re-enact the event using the same distances, angles, car speeds, etc., and they couldn't. Not with the cheapo rifle Oswald was supposed to use, and not with their best sniper rifles.

In four decades, no sharp-shooter has ever duplicated Oswald's supposedly dead-on feat of three shots in seven seconds.

It's impossible.

"there was a lot more buried by the Warren Commission report than was revealed."

Yeah and Spector was granted Senator for life because of his ability to give the one bullet theory with a straight face.

I think his own "Not Proven" definitely applied here.

[Shooter 2.5]

There's nothing to that. It's just a comment from second hand information and the source died a few years ago.

The FBI and the NRA duplicated the shots.

I lean toward the Mafia/Castro theories, simply because of Jack Ruby.

Untrue. The shooting was recreated using the exact same scenario and equipment. The Mannlicher has a very smooth action. FBI weapons expert Robert Frazier got off three accurate shots with Oswald's Mannlicher-Carcano rifle in 4.5 seconds -- recycling the mechanism and re-aiming the rifle twice.
