🚨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!

Did Roger mean gunshot residue?
A gunshot residue (GSR) test, also known as a gunpowder residue test, detects the presence of chemicals deposited on a person’s skin, clothing, or nearby surfaces when a gun is fired, aiding in determining if someone was near a discharged firearm.
Hey jack, I had powder burns after fighting with Andy Jackson at New Orleans. See, we powdered the alligators’ behinds, sent them Redcoats running, what a fight! No lie man.
Uh... unless you had an uncontained case failure or chamber rupture or similar, you’re not going to get powder burns from firing a rifle.
Proper term would be Gun Shot Residue (GSR) which is proximity to burned gunpowder as it disperses from the muzzle.
I own a Mannlicher-Carcano carbine and I have never gotten powder burns while shooting it.
(Did Roger mean gunshot residue?)
Yes, that is what he meant to say.
You have proven nothing.
There has never been a crime with every possible piece of evidence discovered and proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
EVERY criminal conviction can be shown to have some doubt. EVERY.
Except in fantasy land,... where you live.
Oswald did it, alone.
He was a terrible shot as well.
I’m not sure at all that firing a bolt action carbine would leave powder burns.
If you fired a single shot and let it be, probably not much if any. If you were working the bolt quickly, firing multiple shots in rapid succession as alleged, the hand operating the bolt and your face would likely pick up some.
A bolt action rifle is not a tank main gun or artillery piece with a bore evacuator that creates a vacuum that pulls everything out the muzzle. Smoke from residual propellant, particularly with dirty burning surplus ammo would be present when they bolt was opened immediately after firing.
I always wondered if Oswald trained on a Garand or M14 it would be logical to use what He Knew.Surplus weapons were cheap and No paper trail.

Fabricated start to Finish.
Lets see all the evidence.
This investigation of the new evidence is just getting started.
When it is complete I will accept your apology.
According to the files, Oswald was a “bad shot”.
It was a mail order rifle, you could still do that then, war surplus, believe he paid about $20.
But he is supposed to have taken it to a range to zero the scope. There is evidence of that.
Why would he take a defective rifle to shoot somebody? He was a Marine.
How do you know?
While Lee Harvey Oswald was trained in marksmanship during his time in the Marine Corps, his skills were rated as a marksman (a lower rating) in May 1959, after initially qualifying as a sharpshooter in December 1956.
He wasn’t expert but didn’t need to be to make that shot.
One way or another, LBJ was part of it.
The above ‘revelation’ doesn’t prove anything in that direction. You aren’t going to get powder burns from the operator’s side of the gun without something going horrifically wrong with the weapon. The weapon basically has to explode for the user to get burned - and all prospective weapons survived intact enough to be fired without repairs needed.
If Stone wasn’t so frothing at the mouth about this, he might have wanted to see if it was gunshot residue... which in this time period would only find it on the operator’s hands and forearms, and only if the person hadn’t washed their hands. Or sweated much.
This doesn’t prove anything either way.
bttt
The “Oswald did it” crowd claim Oswald shot Tippett—presumably with a pistol.
