    There is a very compelling argument that JFK was killed by his own secret service due to sloppy handling drills of a rifle. These sorts of things shouldn't happen, but they do.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    Saw that doco. Very very compelling. It started, and I thought ''here we go, another bunch of whackos''.. But having seen it I am near convinced that they are right, that the stand in rookie agent zapped the President with the AR by accident

    Yup it all now makes sense to me.
    I reckon they just want to ignore, that something so stupid could have killed the president.
    They even disproved the magic bullet theory that hit him first and went into the governor.

    jesus i bet that smarted his foot will be a hell of a mess if it was the 223 round
    if it was the first time i could understand it but didnt they have several incidents with the glocks.
    including accidental discharges and culminating in an instructor poppining himself in the leg.
    6 days firearms training aint enough

    It fits everything that seemed shaky about the situation. The smell of powder at street level, the implausible interval between shots, everyone was looking everywhere around them for the shooter, why the autopsy was so spooked out, the very reason it was suppressed, bullets coming from directions that couldn't possibly happened etc etc. In my head it doesn't even remotely seem a mystery any more. There are loads of theories, and most have holes in them that you could drive a bus through (even though it was filmed from several angles before, and one during -in 1963!) and this one fits everything so neatly it really HAS to be right! It's almost funny that it was 50 years before it was solved when you think about it.

    If it was secret service then he/she was on the grassy knoll.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Nope, in the car behind the presidents convertible. The one with the secret service agent holding an AR. The guy who was filling in for one of the other agents who was still too pissed from the night before.

    According to wiki, Armalite started to make them in 59 for the military but sold the design to Colt who started producing semi auto version to civies in 1963.
