Oswald, on the other hand, obtained his rifle in the most casual of ways and used it in the most heinous.

you are correct, sad thing is that it is so easy to legally get a gun for use in malice.

This thread may have new relevance

Discovery Channel is going to reveal new information about the assassination of JFK this Sunday. From what little I've been hearing it ought to be pretty interesting.

It seems that all networks that start out as hard science wind up with dopey shows after a few years.

Discovery Channel is a far cry from the great channel it was when it came on the air back in the '80s. That's for sure but they do have some really good programming from time to time like the Planet Earth series. I'm hoping this Kennedy show will be one of the good ones. We'll see.
