It’s no longer a conspiracy theory, APL confirmed it’s very likely that there were 2 shooters, we should remove this possibility from the “conspiracy theory” section. Due to the great changes that will come to this article in the future, I also think the featured article status should be put in to question too.

If 'great changes' are made to this article, they'll occur in the context of including more credible refutations of these conspiracy theories. No new evidence or information has come to light -it's the same magic bullet myths and grassy knoll narratives that have been endlessly repeated for decades and discredited by various ballistics experts, computational analysts, intelligence professionals etc. The allegations against the CIA and US government are groundless, and the mafia speculation's based on little more than a hunch. It's clear to me that a significant number of Americans will continue to live in these rabbit holes, despite all the science, evidence and logic telling them they're wrong.[1]Jonathan f1 (talk) 06:48, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can tell Luna has said that she believes that there were likely two shooters, but that's just her personal opinion and if it's based on newly discovered evidence the relevant files have not yet been released. The scholarly consensus has not yet changed. Possibly when the new records are declassified and released the scholarly consensus will change, but as of this moment it hasn't. It's also worth remembering that Luna is a politician, not a scholar and not an expert on the Kennedy assassination – our article on her even says She faced scrutiny when she suggested bringing in members of the Warren Commission for questioning about the investigation of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, as all members of the Warren Commission are dead which doesn't suggest to me that we should be blindly trusting her statements!

The ability of such people to mouth off, without embarassment, about something they obviously know nothing about never ceases to amaze. EEng19:09, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
She clearly reviewed the documents and made those exact remarks, something you and I didnt, so it’s hardly surprising that she now carries herself as an authority on the matter. Of course, Jonathan, I’m sure your understanding of the topic is far more extensive. V.B.Speranza (talk) 01:41, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The EO14176 statement is incorrect that EO ordered the JFK documents would be released in two weeks. The EO stated that the DNI create a plan of release within two weeks for the JFK documents. The EO made no statement at all as to the timeline of any document release to the public.
