The Selectice Service card photo

[Jim Hargrove]

I agree with you Jim the ID card is all that ties Oswald to the rifle apart from the back yard photo's and without the card the backyard photo's do not work either,
since where did he get the rifle without the ID card in Hidell's name. It's a pity they did not dust the card for prints.
The other thing which still causes me to scratch my head is why go through such a convoluted way to get a rifle , which leaves a traceable path
requires forged documents , obtains such a poor quality rifle ( by which I mean Oswalds version of the gun not the Carcano in general) , introduces
a new set of variables and things that can go wrong in to the scenario , when a rifle can be obtained easily from a local source with no paper work
and no risk or trail leading back to Oswald. It's all just not simple enough for Oswald to have carried out the job on his own , buy rifle from pawn shop lean out window
and shoot Kennedy once as he turns the corner off Elm.

As you probably know, around Labor Day prior to the assassination, a man identifying himself as "Lee Oswald" repeatedly tried to purchase four .300 Savage rifles from Robert McKeown, Castro's personal friend and long-time munitions supplier. McKeown smelled a rat and refused to consider even the ridiculously high price "Oswald" finally offered. Any doubt one of these guns would have appeared on the TSBD sixth floor had Castro's personal gun supplier made the sale to "Lee Oswald?"

I'd bet my life that the overall goal of the Kennedy assassins was to provoke a U.S. invasion of Cuba. For more info, click here.
