I simply agreed with the various statements Dan proposed. Interesting what can arise with an open mind and simply looking at evidence. Another interesting hypothesis. Maybe he brought the metal components of the rifle without the stock.
The official bag "story" has serious flaws. Without it the LN case is considerably weakened.
Just saying the story has flaws over and over doesn't make it so. And obviously, you can't argue both that CE 142 matches Frazier's description of the bag Oswald carried that morning and that CE 142 was not the bag Oswald carried but was planted on the 6th floor. Those are mutually exclusive claims. Either Oswald carried CE 142 that morning or he did not. And even if Oswald for some inexplicable reason lied to both Frazier and the DPD about the long bag and its contents, it does not preclude Oswald from having smuggled the gun into the TSBD by some other means at some other time. He didn't because it was in the bag he carried that morning but going down the CTer rabbit hole, Oswald could have brought the rifle to his boardinghouse on some occasion prior to Nov. 22 and taken that rifle to work at any time that week. Again, he didn't because his rifle was in the bag but if CTers simply want to play the game of possibilities, then that can't be excluded. The important thing is that Oswald's rifle is found at the crime scene (however he brought it there) and he provides no explanation for its presence. In fact, he lies about his ownership of the rifle. A slam dunk of guilt.
