You're right of course. Incidentally the scope on the MC gun of Oswald fame
was said to be so bad that the "experts" had to insert shims into it so that
it would be even reasonably accurate. Additionally I am told that the weapon
itself is of such low quality that no one would ever use it for anything (at
least those who know guns). MLK's death and the detritus floating around
about it are par for the course.
