apon designed over 70 years ago that even when it was brand new it was not a comparatively good rifle? The Italian Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifle was not a fast gun and it was never intended to be a snipers rifle not even when it was first created. There were a great deal of better, faster and more accurate guns available to Lee Harvey Oswald, so why did he choose an outdated one with a misalignment in the cheap plastic scope?

His hands came back positive, but his cheek came back negative, which cast doubt on whether he shot a rifle that day. Lone gunman supporters say that maybe he rested the rifle against his hip rather than his cheek, but why then did he also order a scope that cost more than the $5 dollar gun did?

The rest of the story is even more unbelievable. Super human strength and speed he supposedly possessed to move all those boxes in that amount of time. The stunning performance of that miracle built that ...
