Note that I have never denied that a Mauser was found, as Richard Hooke contends. What I have denied is that Lee Harvey Oswald owned a Carcano rifle or brought such a rifle to work or that he was collaborating with Malcolm Wallace with it up on the 6th floor. 

I have no issues whatsoever with the Mauser. I know that they first reported finding a Mauser, and I have no reason to think that anyone could mistake a Mauser for a Carcano. 

What I object to is the accusation that Oswald was collaborating with the killers, leading them to think that he was one of them and would shoot Kennedy. I object to Richard revising the testimony of Loy Factor who said that he did no shooting but that he saw Wallace and Oswald shoot Kennedy. If that's true, and I don't vouch for it, then I am sure that he saw someone else who looked like Oswald. It was not the Oswald we know. The Oswald we know was in the Domino room at 12:15 eating lunch, and he reported seeing Junior Jarman and Harold Norman hanging around. Then, after that, he was reportedly seen by Carolyn Arnold. And then he stepped outside where he was captured on film by James Altgens and David Wiegman. 

Oswald had no explicit knowledge of the assassination plot. Whether he had any eerie feelings, I can't say. But, he definitely did not knowingly watch JFK be gunned down, which would have been a criminal act on his part. Surely, anyone who had advance knowledge of the assassination, who knew that it was about to happen, had the legal and moral obligation to do anything and everything possible to stop it, and I mean as it was about to occur, no matter what it took, and only a moral degenerate would think that someone deserves a medal just for NOT shooting Kennedy. Heaven help us if our values sink that low. 

So, Mauser found? A-OK. Oswald collaborating with the  killers before and after the shooting and knowingly watching Kennedy die?  Not OK.
