Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hobbes" data-source="post: 1996916" data-attributes="member: 3371">JFK was assassinated 49 years ago today.I was 10 yrs old at the time but I still remember it vividly.I'm not really much of a conspiracy enthusiast or promoter but I really have some questions and doubts about the JFK death.I'll pick one issue that I think people on this forum are more knowledgeable about than most of the public.The official theory is that Oswald smuggled a rifle, wrapped in paper and supposed to be curtain rods, into the book depository that morning and used that rifle to shoot JFK with.After the shooting, as the official story goes, Oswald returned to his boarding room to retrieve his snubnose .38 revolver that was used to shoot officer Tippit on the way to the movie theater where Oswald was arrested.My question is this:Does it seem reasonable that a man, intent on murdering the POTUS, would sneak a rifle into his lair and yet leave his handgun at home?Seriously?  He has to go back home and get his handgun after he has just smuggled a rifle into the book depository and used it to murder someone?He couldn't have just put the snubnose in his lunchbox?</blockquote>
