Firearms experts who say; ?I can't do it so it can't be done?, cannot be trusted

No proof is no proof. And as far as I know, there was not a trial.
You, on the other hand, say....."but-but-but if-if if-if there were" 
Ross, you are a sick defender of lies.

That contains an ad hominem attack Pete. Impeaches your credibility.

Lee Harvey Oswald would have been, tried, convicted and sentenced for the murders of John F. Kennedy and JD Tippit.

Any body with a functioning brain would conclude that Lee Oswald would never have been tried.....   There simply wasn't any solid evidence that he had committed the crime.    That much should be clear to anybody who is a participant in these debates.   

Based on the THEORY that Lee Oswald had fired a rifle from that SE corner window. .....( which is the key starting point) ....No 5"9" man could have sat on a box and and used the stack of Rolling Readers as a rifle rest and declined the muzzle of the rifle down toward Elm street.    Based on that same THEORY.....The rifle would have to have been a Kentucky loooooong rifle  for the muzzle to have protruded out of that window.....The carcano is a mere 40 inches long... so  a man sitting on a box four feet back from the wall and using the stack of Rolling Readers as a rifle rest could not have had the muzzle out of the window.

And this is merely the start.....  Nearly every piece of evidence can be shown to be false.

The carcano is a mere 40 inches long... so  a man sitting on a box four feet back from the wall and using the stack of Rolling Readers as a rifle rest could not have had the muzzle out of the window.

Witnesses report a man with a rifle much closer to the window than 4 feet away.

Do you have evidence that the 6th floor shooter was 4 feet back from the window?

Nearly every piece of evidence can be shown to be false.

Aha... "nearly every piece of evidence can be shown to be false". Now we're getting somewhere!!!

That means that you believe some pieces of evidence are not false. List them in your reply.

Detective Studebaker created a map of the sixth floor and he measured exact distances  of various places on the sixth floor....He indicated that the rifle was found in the NW corner near the top of the stairs. He measured the distance from the north wall to the rifle at 15' 4"   The cover up committee place the rifle at 10 feet from the north wall.   They shorten the distance by 5 feet to make their imaginary THEORY that Lee Oswald has dashed by the place and hastily dumped the rifle behind the boxes that formed the south wall of the aisle leading to the stairs. 

Studebaker's map is authentic....

Oh, you poor thing.
Here's another question for Prof. Ross and one he will avoid.
The planted Carcano had a scope adjusted for a left-handed shooter, but Oswald was right-handed???
It was so misaligned they needed to put 2 metal shims under it before a military lab could test fire it.
Explain away Prof Ross

The planted Carcano had a scope adjusted for a left-handed shooter, but Oswald was right-handed???

The scope was offset to the left because of the bolt-action which was on top of the rifle. A scope mounted on the right of the rifle would interfere with the movement of the bolt when ejecting a spent cartridge and loading a new one.

There's no proof that the Carcano was planted.

Questions for you who believes a Carcano was planted on the 6th floor of the TSBD:

-- Who planted the Carcano in the TSBD?

-- When was the Carcano planted in the TSBD?

The shims were lost when Lt. Carl Day of the Crime Lab disassembled the Carcano looking for "prints"?

First off, I seriously doubt that Day disassembled the carcano....But even if he did there would have been no reason to removed the scope.

I have Studebaker's map of the sixth floor in a book but I'd like to post it here....  Can anybody direct me to that map that Studebaker created?   


Question....Is it possible for a 5' 9" man to reach across a four foot high stack of boxes and lay an 8 pound rifle on the floor in a cave that was five feet away?

Boone's description of the location where the rifle was laying on the floor....

Mr. BOONE - Well, it was almost--the stairwell is in the corner of the building, something like this, and there is a wall coming up here, making one side of the stairwell with the building acting as the other two sides. And from that, it was almost directly in front or about 8 feet south, I guess, it would be, from that partition wall that made up the stairwell.

Let's parse that description.....He's talking about a wall ( partition) that forms the east side of the stairway ( The stairway was in the NW corner, and the West, and North, brick walls of the building formed the North and West walls of the stairway)
The measurement of 8 feet that Boone refers to is from the south end of that partition.  IOW...The rifle was laying on the floor ( at the bottom of an enclosed cavern of books) 8 feet south of the south end of the partition that formed the east wall of the stairway. 

There was a row of boxes of books stacked about three feet south of the south end that partition... This row of boxes formed the South side of the aisle that was at the top of the stairs .... That aisle was about three feet wide.  So according to Boone's observation , the rifle was laying on the floor about 5 feet south of that row of boxes.   The fake photos that were created by the DPD show the rifle against the south side of the row of boxes that formed the E/W wall of the aisle that Lee allegedly dashed through as he ran by the area.

Boone said the rifle was about eight feet south of the partition,or five feet south of the aisle....  ( And Detective Studebaker drew a map in which he gives a distance that corroborates Boone's estimate)

Please name the witnesses....

The imaginary sniper with a rifle would have been sitting on a box that was against the east wall and 16 1/2 inches north of the interior south wall ( four feet from the exterior wall with the protruding ledge )  The creators of the fantasy that Lee sat there and rested the 40 inch carcano on the stack of boxes would have had him sitting at about a 45 degree angle to the window in the SE corner.  Nobody on the street below had Xray vision that would have allowed them to see through a solid brick wall.   The east side of the stack of Rolling readers was about two feet back from the window....so the muzzle of the 40 inch rifle would have been inside the building... 

Spectators on the street below would have heard a muffled boom if a carcano had been fired from that site....  But many of the witnesses said that the sound of the gun shots was very loud ( "ear shattering "
