A Mannlicher Carcano did not kill JFK. It is not accurate, it is very slow to work because of the position of its bolt and its ammunition is wimpy. It was regarded as such a piece of crap that few, if any GIs brought them back as trophies, and I have never seen a Carcano sporterized as a deer rifle. The GIs, including my Dad, wanted Mausers to sporterize for deer rifles. When the Americans landed on Sicily in 1943, thousands of Italian troops who were not very enamored of Mussolini, threw their Carcanos aside and embraced the GIs. The GIs didn’t bother to pick them up, although some were traded to sailors for bottles of booze and canned hams. Why would Lee Harvey Oswald order a piece of crap Carcano, under his own name, from Chicago mail order house when he could have easily walked into a hardware store or gun store and anonymously bought a REAL rifle? What kind of rifle killed JFK? No one will ever know, but it wasn’t a Carcano,
Guns don't kill, people do.
Other than the 2 politician I hadn't heard of the other 2. I heard about Phil specter killing a woman sadly I didn't know her name.
