Quote:"Speculation.--Marina Oswald stated that she did not know that her husband owned a rifle nor did she know that he owned a pistol.
Commission finding.--There is no evidence that Marina Oswald ever told this to any authorities. On the afternoon of November 22, she told the police that her husband owned a rifle and that he kept it in the garage of the Paine house in Irving. Later, at Dallas police headquarters, she said that she could not identify as her husband's the rifle shown her by policemen. When Marina Oswald appeared before the Commission she was shown the Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5 rifle found on the sixth floor of the Depository and identified it as the "fateful rifle of Lee Oswald."
But unfortunately for the WCR's claim that there is no evidence for Marina ever denying that Oswald owned a rifle, you can find it in her testimony:
Quote:Mr. RANKIN. Did you ever see him clean the rifle?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. I said before I had never seen it before. But I think you understand. I want to help you, and that is why there is no reason for concealing anything. I will not be charged with anything. (1H 14)
Whether she was originally lying, or started lying later - matters little. The fact is that there is certainly evidence that Marina originally was asserting that Oswald didn't have a rifle.
Once again, the WCR simply lied.
And watch as not a single believer will step up and give a reasonable explanation for this lie...
