1922 — Eugene Morrison Stoner (inventor of the AR-15, which was adopted by the military as the M16) is born in Gosport, Indiana. He is regarded by most historians, along with John Browning and John Garand, as one of the United States’ most successful military firearms designers of the 20th century. 1963 — American President John F. Kennedy is assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The Warren Commission would later offer the ridiculous-seeming "magic bullet theory" as an explanation to how one bullet could traverse 15 layers of clothing, 7 layers of skin, 15 inches of tissue and a necktie knot, remove 4 inches of rib, and shatter a radius bone.
