What is the non-conspiracy explanation for the magic bullet involved in the JFK assassination? I only know the conspiracy theory that claims that the CIA accidentally shot JFK and then covered their tracks. And then the other conspiracy theory, where that wasn't an accident.

It's entirely possible that a secret service agent accidentally shot Kennedy, and they're on the record of saying so.

"We don't know" is not really a conspiracy theory. "We don't know, therefore X must have done it" is a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy thinking is the tendency to make these connections.

Last time I looked at this, the magic bullet was the official stance. When did the narrative change?

At this point it's no longer conspiracy theories, it's just conspiracy shower thoughts.
