That's funny!
The plotters made a few mistakes too. The HSCA had to grant immunity to Castro's personal friend and gun supplier Robert McKeown before he would testify, but then he swore that a "Lee Oswald" visited him in '63 and tried to buy some rifles, eventually offering an absurdly high price when McKeown began to smell a rat. Had "Oswald" succeeded in the buy. is there much doubt that the weapon from Castro's good buddy and personal gunrunner would have replaced the trouble-plagued Carcano? That would have made the Castro-did-it plot even harder for Johnson to quash.
