One small problem is that the gun recovered was not the gun ordered. They were different lengths. Another is that no one ever saw him practicing with it. There is no record of him ever purchasing ammo for it nor was any found in his effects. It was alledgedly carried in to the TSBD and reassembled with no chance to properly sight it even if it could have been properly sighted. But that should not bother one with faith.

Another interesting fact is apparently anyone could have sent anything to that mailbox and picked it up without a record. There is no authorization for Alex Hidell to receive mail in the box or record that anyone claiming to be Alex Hidell did so.

Marina says she took photos of Oswald with the guns but that the ones in the Warren Commission Report are NOT the ones she took.

Phil, do you have any evidence that the gun alledged to have been removed from the TSBD was tested for having been fired that day? I have heard that it was not and that the WC has no record of that being done. If there is no record I am assuming that means that it WAS done and found to have NOT been fired. It is almost inconceivable that such a standard test would not have been done.

You need to check your "facts" more carefully.

Neither Day nor any other police officer seems to have checked the rifle when it was discovered for signs--such as traces of fresh gunpowder inside the barrel--indicating that the weapon had actually been fired that day; FBI Expert Robert Frazier, who examined the rifle early the next morning, when asked if there was metal fouling in the barrel, replied, "I did not examinie it for that."
