From Robert Oswald's Warren Commission testimony:
JENNER: And Lee had what you would describe as a normal interest in firearms?
OSWALD: Yes, sir.
JENNER: That every boy has?
OSWALD: Yes, sir.
JENNER: But not beyond that?
OSWALD: No, sir. (1H296)
********
BOGGS: Have you in your own mind reached any conclusions on whether or not your brother killed President Kennedy?
OSWALD: Based on the circumstantial evidence that has been reported in newspapers and over the radio and television, I would have to say that it appears that he did kill President Kennedy.
BOGGS: Would you, having reached that conclusion under the circumstances that you outlined a moment ago, and having known him all of his life, although not too intimately the last year of his life, would you give us any reason for why he may have done this?
OSWALD: No, sir: I could not.
BOGGS: It came as, I would think, a great shock to you?
OSWALD: Yes, sir; it certainly did, and I might add that the Lee Harvey Oswald that I knew would not have killed anybody. (1H314)
So, in 1964 Robert was saying that he would never have expected that his brother, whom he swore had a "normal" interest in guns, could kill anybody. And now, 50 years later, he says that he had to buy guns off of Lee "so he wouldn't do anything with them".
Something doesn't quite add up here, does it?
