Is Jim DiEugenio correct about Oswalds rifle?

[David Von Pein]

...was impossible? Why impossible?

It's not me who is saying it was impossible for Oswald's order form to reach Chicago in one day's time. It's the conspiracy theorists saying it. But as you can easily see below, it was most certainly not impossible at all.

I am still looking at that 24 hour claim stuff...because I have never heard it before. What paperwork reveals that?

The "24 hour" fact is proven by these three documents (the first 2 showing the date "March 12", and the 3rd one showing the date
"Mar. 13" stamped at the top of the Klein's internal invoice for Oswald's rifle purchase)....

Therefore, if what you just said is true, then why on Earth did the looney conspirators who were "faking" all the rifle paperwork want to make it look like the order was processed in 24 hours? That was a really stupid gaffe on their part (if such a thing was impossible in 1963)....wouldn't you agree?

Another "that's so unlikely it must be true" LNer argument.

Looks like John wants to avoid my perfectly reasonable question as well. (What a surprise.)

Well I'll Swanee! Right above the words--- Order Blank ---there it is. I have never noticed that before!
 I agree it is possible...if someone had immediately taken that money order...got on the next jet to Chicago...took a taxi to the sports warehouse and hand delivered it to the order fillers when the offices opened on the 13th of March..it is just possible!!
Those stupid conspiracy guys didn't think of that huh?

Your "perfectly reasonable question" is a strawman (what a surprise).

Speaking of reasonable questions, you have still never explained how Oswald ordered one size long gun, but received a different sized long gun.

Which certainly shows more "sloppiness " on the part of someone.

So, we have magic mail that travels at high speed, and then brings about shipment of a different long gun than the one ordered.

[John Iacoletti]

...to which I predict that DVP will respond with yet another strawman along the lines of "why would conspirators plant a different rifle than the one that they planted the order for"?

That's the go-to argument when an LNer is confronted with any anomaly in the evidence.

Maybe the guy packing the rifle just made a mistake?
