How to wipe down your weapon of choice real quick

[Bill Chapman]

BS. Make that one of your experiments then get back to us.

And by the way, did they find the screwdriver that Oswald must have thrown in the bag so he could re-assemble the rifle? Or did he use a dime?

And did they find the gloves he must have worn to not get any prints on the stock, bolt, barrel, scope, clip, shells and strap as he was re-assembling the rifle? Or did he take a few minutes to wipe down ALL his prints, except for his post-mortem palm print?

And how many prints did the Keystone Cops DPD leave on everything from bare-handling all the evidence, such as Fritz's prints on the 3 hulls in the SN?

"..fingerprints are easily smudged/removed by a simple wipe with a cloth" my Bahookie. Show us or get off the pot.

With so many "sweltering in place" indefinitely, it seems past due the time to revisit this subject "matter".  Time is likely not the only thing participants in this once busy thread now have on their hands.

"Wiping the weapon down quickly" attracted 23 pages of impressively informative chatter, in the last "go round".

There is still the matter of no fingerprints produced on the spent cartridges.. On the clip.. On any live rounds in the clip..From shells supposedly recovered at the Tippit scene..and even prints on any bullets from this .38 revolver supposedly taken from the Texas Theater & no prints were processed from Tippit's squad car.
Did the Invisible Man wipe everything down?

I wonder if some peoples fingers are oilier than others and so Oswald might not have been someone that easily left finger prints.

no prints were processed from Tippit's squad car.

I believe that Pete Barnes lifted prints from the cowl and right front fender of Tippit's squad car.....(There are photos of Barnes working that area of Tippit's car.

The prints he found were purported to be good clear prints.    We can safely assume that the prints were NOT Lee Oswald's prints because it they had been they would have been enlarged to cover the the cover of LIFE magazine, just as they did with the BY photo.

Did I imply that he wanted to be caught, Colin?

You said you reckoned he expected to be caught, as I repeated. Are you arguing with yourself here? Was he concerned with leaving prints or not, in your considered opinion?

Are you arguing with yourself here?

Is that why both of him always lose?
Did I ever ask what the opening video has to do with wiping down weapons?
And if I was Bruce Willis ..I would have kept that machine pistol. Also he should have made a whew -stinky restroom face when John Trivolta came out..I thought that would have been unique.
