🚨INDISPUTABLE:
The Dallas Police Department examination indicated Lee Harvey Oswald, whom the Warren Commission alleges fired a $26 WWII-vintage Italian carbine, had no powder burns on his chest, arms, or hands.
Impossible, therefore, for him to have shot JFK!

Don’t look at me on that, I wasn’t disputing the rifle at all.
bttt
Correct, one of today’s releases.
Read Lee and Me by Judyth Vary Baker. Read On the Trail of the Assassins by Jim Garrison. Lee Harvey Oswald was a loyal Marine, trained by the ONI, was a fake defector & fake Marxist to penetrate terrorist groups, worked for the CIA, and was a paid informant of the FBI at the time of his death. He had penetrated an assassination ring and was trying to stop it. He was an innocent man and a hero who has been unjustly vilified.
Even crappy WW1 and Spanish American War bolt action rifles throw their residue *forward* of the muzzle, not back at the user, unless there’s something actually wrong with them. The advent of metallic cartridges in the late 1800s, when combined with smokeless powder, meant the end of residues detectable by the pariffin test on the face and chest of the user unless the weapon was broken or malfunctioned.
“allegedly used an antique WWII rifle that shot ammunition as dirty as it comes”
There is a whole bunch of things we think we know, and a bunch of stuff we don’t know.
I can tell you, there is nothing “wrong” with the rifle he used. Age has nothing to do with it, or smoky ammo. The truth is, shooting a rifle is pretty easy. You can take someone who has never fired a gun, and in a few hours will be putting rounds in a man sized target at 600 yards. High precision shooting takes a lot of practice, getting them in the “zone” doesn’t.
Whatever you believe about the JFK assassination in Dallas, the rifle and ammunition (and Oswald) were fully and completely up to the task at hand. If I want to find a reason not to believe Oswald did it, that ain’t it. Hope this helps.
I agree. I didn't expect revelations about the JFK assassination. All the people who were involved at the time are all gone, and 62 years is plenty of time to destroy documents/evidence. I mean, they lost JFK's brain in the aftermath of the autopsy, what else was lost or gotten rid of? There was speculation that RFK took his brain:
RFK may have swiped JFK’s missing brain
The article cites James Swanson, the author of the 2013 book: “End of Days: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy,” claiming that the Secret Service kept his brain in a file drawer for a time.
Yes, that's what it's called. Apparently, anybody that shoots a weapon will end up with powder residue on them, or their clothing.
I think Roger Stone used the wrong term powder burns, when he meant powder residue.
Yeah, and thanks for the mentions. Weird huh...

So where did attempted assassin Thomas Crooks go wrong after spending a whopping 43 times at the shooting range?
“ I own a Mannlicher-Carcano carbine and I have never gotten powder burns while shooting it.”
Back in the Late 70’s I owned a Carcano carbine. With surplus ammo and using its iron sights I could get 2”to 2-1/2” 5 shot groups at 100 yards.
I did not say there was anything wrong with it. I said it shof a dirty dartridge that would leave lots of residue on anybody who shot it, and Oswald had none. Odd if he was the assassin.
The gas seal is performed by the metallic cartridge case expanding - something Italian ammo was actually pretty good at. I’ve shot a Carcano with the proper Italian ammo it didn’t have any blowby or anything.
A lot of the Carcano’s problems in the US was due to the ammo available in the US - other than actual Italian surplus ammo, a lot of US commercial ammo for it was not actually made to the Carcano’s specifications, something that became clear in the 1990s when greater communications and machine translation became a thing. When using actual to-spec ammo, the Carcano runs just fine. Not great, not terrible, just average.
How would a functional bolt action rifle with no muzzle brake leave residue on the face of a shooter?
Definitely known. He was a chosen patsy. Good to have it not be a conspiracy theory finally but an actual conspiracy.
There was at least one double for Oswald. The policeman was shot to place “Oswald” at a location and to be caught.
There was at least one.
