Uh, no. Probably it would have made more sense right before the JFKA to ask himself "Shall I go to Irving and get the clunker rifle that is traceable to me out of Ruth Paine's garage, with all the risks that will entail, or should I check the classified ads for a better rifle that isn't traceable to me?" Indeed, in 1963 you could buy a gun in Texas or Arizona from a GUN DEALER with no ID at all.

There you go again. Trying to guess what Oswald's thought process would have been instead of just following the tangible evidence that tell us unambiguously he killed two guys that day.

I don't know why you would second guess Oswald's decisions given that he succeeded in doing what he set out to do, maybe for the first time in his life. Usually the Monday morning quarterbacks choose to second guess the losing team.

Hello? I was responding to YOUR speculation that it would have "made more sense" for Oswald to check the classifieds back in March.

Short memory?
