Assassination attempt calibers

XDKingslayer: The 1960's was period when a few very prominent people got killed by violent means and also very many little people got killed with little notice. The common thread was left wing politics and what few convictions there were, only little fish got caught.
Relative to Pres. Kennedy do you really believe the account given by the warren report and think that anyone with differing opinions is wearing tinfoil. Sir, please make sure that you are not wearing blinders and ear plugs.
By the way the kennedy assassination was used as an excuse for the 1968 gun control act.

And there it is...right on queue.

And I'm not saying that if someone disagrees with the Warren Report they are wearing tin foil. I'm saying they should be...

And yes, I do believe what the Warren Report tells me. I also believe we went to the moon and that the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were hit by planes. Why? Because nothing the Tin Foil Crazies come up with to prove otherwise holds up.

Until you can show me some evidence that Kennedy wasn't killed with that Carcano, I have to put you solidly in that group. Sorry...
 
The real James Bond?

There is a quite famous undercover British agent who asasinated many high ranking German officers during WWII.

I'm sorry, but I forget the name; though a famous book has been written about it.

Most of his killings were done with 25 or 32's, but get this -he must have been squeemish even in his cold blooded state, because after shooting one general in a hotel room, the general did not die immediately, but must have suffered some. I believe the shot was to the eye socket. This required an additional shot, risking detection. And it was stated that he wanted to execute the victim swiftly and surely.

So, the agent recommeded using nothing less than the 380 from then on.

But the Warren report doesn't sell books, movies, and TV shows the way that conspiracy theories do!
Conspiracy theories are good for the economy!

:D

One explanation that I heard long ago, pre-conspiracy theories, was that the true facts of the assassination of JFK would not be publicly divulged as long as Mr. Kennedy's children were still living.
This may have just been a rumor, of course.

But I digress...

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_assassination)...

All of the Warren Commission's records were submitted to the National Archives in 1964. The unpublished portion of those records was initially sealed for 75 years (to 2039) under a general National Archives policy that applied to all federal investigations by the executive branch of government, a period "intended to serve as protection for innocent persons who could otherwise be damaged because of their relationship with participants in the case.” The 75-year rule no longer exists, supplanted by the Freedom of Information Act of 1966 and the JFK Records Act of 1992. By 1992, 98% of the Warren Commission records had been released to the public. Six years later, at the conclusion of the Assassination Records Review Board's work, all Warren Commission records, except those records that contained tax return information, were available to the public with only minor redactions. The remaining Kennedy assassination related documents are scheduled to be released to the public by 2017, twenty-five years after the passage of the JFK Records Act.

Aha! That was it! Thanks for jogging my memory.
 
xdkingslayer, you lost all credibility and essentially withdrew yourself from the discussion the second you changed the subject (throwing in the moon and 9/11) while throwing personal insults (common tactics among the government loyalists so they can avoid discussion).
Until you can show me some evidence that Kennedy wasn't killed with that Carcano, I have to put you solidly in that group. Sorry...

You should be sorry because you employed another common diversionary tactic: you asked that things be proved to you by others. That's not how things work. YOU are the one who needs to do your research. It's not the world's responsibility to force you to believe the loads of evidence of multiple shooters against JFK. You believe whatever you want to believe. Have a nice day.

I thought it was interesting how xd ignored that aspect. I guess he doesn't want to believe that government does bad things that it BENEFITS from.
 
Just by memory:


Andy Warhol was shot with a 32 auto not a 38. I think it went all the way through him. It hit a large number of organs.

Malcolm was hit by I think 4 pellets from a 12 pellet load of single ought buck along with some handgun rounds.

I think Marcos was killed with a S&W 357 Mag revolver.

President Reagan was shot with a so-called exploding bullet 22 LR. The bullet hit the bulletproof glass of the limo and pancaked then went into his chest. It did not explode as advertised. It was a hollow point bullet with some sort of exploding powder in it.
 
You see the blood, bone and brain blast out of Kennedy's head when he is shot. Where does it come from? The front right, while he was facing front right. From whence did Oswald allegedly take the shot? Behind and to the right of Kennedy.

Have you ever shot a watermelon with a rifle? Tell me: from where do the contents explode? The entrance or exit hole?

Do you know which direction a man's head pitches when he is shot in the head? In the direction the bullet came from. Kennedy's head pitched back and to the left.

Enough said.

Many mob whacks are carried out with the Beretta .22LR.Two bullet holes in the back of the skull SBS are their trademark signature.Ask Sammy"The Bull"Gravano,if he's still alive out there somewhere:D!
 
While I'm in no way arguing because I have no idea, why would the mob use .22lr instead of something bigger? like at least 9mm? It's not like they can't afford the ammo...
 
Because it is very concealable, less noisy, and it does the job quite efficiently. Never under estimate the penetration of the 22lr.

Note the fine engraving and attention to detail on Booth's pistol manufactured by Deringer. Probably the finest pistol of its day. Booth was a well known accomplished actor and could afford such I would imagine.

poor bastard can't even get shot right...
 
IIRC Martin Luther King Jr was killed by a single 30-06 rifle bullet. I cannot recall the rifle used by James Earl Ray.

For close up assassination work, the .22LR is just about the most prefect round ever created. Accurate, quiet, effective without being messy.

As parisite said, NEVER underestimate the .22LR.

12ga. - Cheney's hunting buddy (although not actually assasinated)

I read that .22lr is actually one of the most deadly calibers, just not instant death like those with more stopping powers. A .22 is less likely to exit and instead bounce around inside off bones and organs leaving a bigger mess for docs to fix than a big straight .44" hole... A .22 may not stop a meth man charging at you, but he probably won't be alive the next day...

Oh, but he did do "right".

He recovered fully, and lived to a ripe old age. In fact, he lived longer than any U.S. President in history.

Thankfully, the Bolivians were more successful than the incompetent nutjob who shot Reagan.
 
The IRA would have used the 22 LR effectively, if it was not illegal for them to use firearms. Same thing with bombs.

The Israelis also made good use of the 22 LR.

Believe it or not, if you shoot a watermelon on a pedestal, it will roll toward the shooter. I've seen it done. Add to that the wind factor -- Kennedy's head was in an open convertible going 30 m.p.h -- and you easily explain the splatter going behind him.

Sorry, no two shooter theories without demonstrable evidence.

Which is precisely what I said:

The way Kennedy's head pitched means the bullet should have come from the back and to the left. The Warren Report tells us Oswald shot from above, from the back and from the right.

The spray did not go behind him. Watch the Zapruder video. The spray went forward, up and to the right while he was moving. That indicates a shot coming from behind, a little below and from the LEFT.
