Things Ct's can do to prove a conspiracy.

[Matt Grantham]

How do you know the condition of the scope during the assassination?  You only know the condition after the fact.  The rifle had been placed between boxes by then.  Perhaps dropped there.  I also recall some indication that the scope had been removed to test for prints.  A bald face assertion that it was "useless" to Oswald is not very compelling.  Regardless, the totality of evidence confirms that Oswald's rifle was used to assassinate JFK.  The probabilities of something occurring (i.e. Oswald making the shot with this rifle) are rendered moot by the event happening.  We know it can be done because it was.  In fact, that is the best evidence that it was not impossible.  If you want to attribute the shots to luck or skill it matters not a whit.

 One could not ask for a more blatant and seemingly enthusiastic flaunting of the begging the question fallacy

To quote Bill Brown -- "I have numerous times already. Why waste my time doing it again just so you'll ignore it again?"

No.

I've never said those words.

"Perhaps Oswald didn't know he was going to use the irons until after he fired the first shot while looking through the scope."

Really Billy Boob??...You really don't know how utterly stupid this proposed theory is??

Do you know ANYTHING about firing a rifle??   

If Lee had been a sniper he would have had his rifle sighted in and on target before ever setting out on a mission....No sane person ever goes into the field on a fire mission ( be it sport hunting or military ) without knowing where the bullet will impact at a given range ( commonly 100 yards)

That's the crux of your ignorance....do you now understand?

You're assuming Oswald was both a "sniper" and "sane".

I say again, since you failed the first time... Don't simply state that I'm a dumbass.  Explain how so.

[Bill Brown]

My opinion is that Oswald used the scope for the badly missed first shot and then, realizing that the scope was misaligned, used the iron sights for the second and third shots.

Except what exactly is your evidence for this "badly missed first shot"?

I've formed an educated opinion over the years.  My opinion certainly doesn't require your approval.  Are you really that arrogant?

I'm assuming nothing ... I'm stating simple commonsense.....And it's obvious that you are completely devoid of commonsense.

[Bill Chapman]

Why else would Oswald keep the scope on the MC if he dissembled/reassembled it when he knew he'd be using the iron sights instead?

Macho, macho man
Lee wants to be a macho man...

Oswald got lucky... probably
