it's amazing. According to some researchers, Reagan wasn't shot with a .22 calibre pistol. The initial Secret Service reports indicated it was a .38. Since a .38 calibre could infer a "military issue" the report was changed to .22 calibre. Since a .22 calibre weapon was substituted for the one with John Hinckley, Jr.s prints the actual .38 weapons appears to have been missing...until now. So, if Hinckley didn't do it...who did? Why don't you ask Reagan. Reagan said, half jokingly, during recuperation.
"...I tell ya, I felt fine, I didn't hear anything. No pain at all until the Secret Service agent threw me in the car and jumped on top of me. As soon as he jumped on me I felt this searing pain. I was thinking he shot me." Reagan refused treatment at the Military hospital...he ordered the car to go to a civilian hospital.
Reagan was actually heard to exclaim on more than one occassion, "George Bush shot me". It appears, the White House staff was ordered to NEVER schedule a meeting between the VP and the President, alone. Just to be sure, Nancy virtually NEVER left his side. (alot of good it did for Jackie!)
At least George Bush claimed he was the owner of a .38 Calibre. Of course he also claimed it was "stolen/given" to a crew of the Sub that rescued him...I think it was Submarine Fighters For Truth of course.
A "meme-driven" life
