This entire paragraph is a "Mytton" deception. There's no ad for an "Italian Carcano" and there's nothing "directly linking" that particular coupon to that particular envelope other than them being photographed next to each other. That coupon could have been filled out at any time.
Add another one to the ever growing list of "Mytton" lies. I have no "massive cast" of conspirators. You can't conclusively show that Oswald ever ordered anything so you try to divert by inventing strawmen to argue against.
The question is not whether a jury would necessarily conclude that Oswald was guilty. By that standard, OJ Simpson and El Sayyid Nosair were not responsible for murder. We know they were. Juries can get hung up on an issue that they can't get past: like "did the gloves fit"? Some wingnut juror could get hung up on whether Oswald ever ordered a gun from Klein's and somehow convince themself that all the other evidence did not matter.
The questions are: 1. is there evidence on which a successful prosecution could be made that Oswald murdered of JFK? and 2. is there is any evidence that anyone else was involved in planning and/or carrying it out? The answers have to be: 1. Yes and 2. No. That is as far as anyone can go in this case.
The issue that this thread raised, initially: "a scientific look at the Single Bullet Theory", was whether the SBT can withstand scientific scrutiny. In my view, it cannot. But that does not in any way change the overwhelming case against Oswald. And, when all the evidence is examined, without the SBT there is still no evidence that anyone else was involved. The evidence shows that the SBT is not needed to support the conclusion that Oswald murdered JFK and that he acted alone.
