One Palm Print on the Rifle
The absence of identifiable fingerprints around the trigger on the rifle tells us nothing about who, if anyone, fired the rifle on 22 November. The palm print on the underside of the rifle barrel shows that Oswald had handled the rifle, but not that he did so on the day of the assassination.
Suspicions of Corrupt Evidence
The inability of the FBI examiners to detect anything other than faint fingerprints on the rifle; the failure of the Dallas police to supply the FBI with contemporaneous photographs of the palmprint; and the lack of any official announcements about an incriminating palmprint, make it not unreasonable to suppose that the palmprint on the rifle was manufactured after the event, and that there is consequently no evidence that Oswald had handled the rifle at all.

I think that if you had actually read about it, you would have some actual evidence.

Last post, you said "the most flawed 'finding' of the WC was that Oswald was a 'lone gunman'."
