The FBI received it from the Dallas PD with the scope improperly attached. The Dallas PD had removed the scope during a check for fingerprints, and did not reattach it properly. Prior to the Dallas PD f***ing it up, it was attached properly (the Dallas PD did not put the shims back onto the scope mount).
There is not ONE witness who reported him practicing shooting the gun.
Incorrect; there are several witnesses who saw him shooting the weapon at a rifle range near Dallas. He was described as a Grade-A a$$hole.
Not ONE who can point to a purchase of ammo for it.
Possession is 9/10ths of the law.
Not one who ever saw bullets for it. The only bullets ever claimed to be with it were those fired and I believe one unfired at the TBD.
And that's evidence enough.
As a shooter you know very well that rifles with scopes moved hundreds of miles over a period of months will not be accurate without a proper sighting of the scope and recalibration of the sights.
And it was boresighted by Mr. Oswald.
Where did you get the idea that the Dallas Police had removed the scope? The WC testimony I have read does not indicate that at all. You expect me to believe that the DPD removed the scope to look for prints when it didn't remove the stock and other wooden parts where the FBI "found" a partial print later?
The "Oswald" shooting at other people's targets in order to draw attention to himself is one of the numerous Second Oswalds running around Dallas at times he was known to be elsewhere. Like the "Oswald" who visited Sylvia Odio and the "Oswald" who scared the hell out of a car salesman during a wild test drive then stated he would be coming into money soon. If you want to believe these stories fine but don't expect others to.
There was NO POSSESSION involved that is one of the problems with this story. There were NO other bullets.
Certainly there were no ballistics to link the bullet fragments to the gun ever listed. Is this the kind of proof that is acceptable to you for ANY trial or just in this case?
At a minimum any shooter would have his gun properly resighted particularly when it was a piece of crap unused for months and dragged around the country unprotected from bumps and collisions. But I forget those were Magikal times with Magikal Bullets, Magikal shooters and Magikal shooting.
