So, I wasn't really paying attention to the fact that this is handguns that changed history when I posted.
That makes it much less odd that nobody else thought of LHO's rifle.
my bad.
Wasn't the fact that L. H. Oswald ordered the Carcano rifle he used to assassinate JFK through the mail the source for some gun control legislation?
Sort of a double whammy.

Being gun enthusiasts we should try to come up with more examples of guns that positively affected history.
It's harder to come up with specific examples of single guns - the nature of "lone gunmen" being what it is - but there must be a few out there.
