Guess you missed the part where JFK was killed with a rifle, not a six-shooter.
The gun Ruby used to kill Oswald was purchased legally and Ruby was also known to the local police which was why no one took much notice of him when they saw him until he shot Oswald.
For a little historical reference, Ruby didn't live long enough to go to trial (cancer, I believe), so he was never found guilty of killing Oswald. Thus, his gun was released to the family and many years later was sold for around 30 grand.
