I’ll start.
Oswald is pictured with the murder weapon. This is a widely known picture that appeared in several magazines… Here is a print from the National Archives website:

Do you admit that Oswald was pictured with the murder weapon?
I would like to point out at the beginning here that...............In 1992 the American Bar Association conducted two mock Oswald trials. The first trial ended in a hung jury. In the second trial the jury acquitted Oswald.
I do agree that Oswald posed with a rifle for a picture.
Irregardless.....whether or not it was the actual murder weapon I do not know as in there was a report that the first claim made by the officer who found the weapon on the sixth floor was a mauser.
Your post is in the proper sequence though....as ................One of the first steps in building a case against Oswald would be to link him to the alleged murder weapon, the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle.
Unfortunately, for the Warren Commission.... this is just one of the many areas where a prosecutor would encounter difficulties. Although at first glance there appears to be a strong connection between Oswald and the Italian-made rifle, the link becomes questionable upon further examination.
