Consider the rifle that was "selected".
It was far removed from any makes or models that were of popular American manufacture.
Were it a Winchester, Remington, or Marlin etc.. it would have placed a stigma on that gun maker---
"Their gun killed the president!"
The Carcano on the other hand, was never a popular hunting or sporting rifle.
I believe it was a deliberate decision by the military complex to utilize a weapon that was of trivial or some otherwise un-celebrated manufacture.

Interesting. The rifle was made in italy and was old. No company made them anymore. So no one lost money by Oswald tarnishing the carcano brandname.

Trying to prove that the military industrial complex however guided Oswald to commit the assassination is difficult though.

After all this time here do you actually still believe that Oswald committed anything?

I don't have any theories as the information is too garbled to make sense of it. I think a new investigation should be established to put all these questions to bed once and for all. There is reason to as there is now more information available in the released ARRB documents.

I doubt anyone has meaningfully read all the 2 million documents released. A new investigation should be tasked with actually reading what was released.
