The entire store is written as a spoof of the Kennedy Assassination. Oswald used the alias "Alek James Hidell" (To Rhyme with his hero Fidel) to purchase the Manlicher Carcano Rifle and had a fake selective service card and post office box under that name. "Hidell", in this story, is killed before the trail in the police dept. basement. "Marion Baker" was the name of a Dallas Motorcycle at the assassination.

The story refers to a "Capt. Day"... It was in fact "Lt. Day" who was in charge of security in the basement of the Dallas Jail the day Oswald was shot, and who the conspiracy kooks believe, let Ruby in to kill Oswald....

The whole thing is written tounge & cheek and as a spoof type joke, although IMO, in rather poor taste...
