I ask beacause the microfilm is the evidence allegedly proving Oswald buying the alleged murder weapon and therefore per inference, that Oswald killed JFK.
No, the Klein's business records is the evidence proving Oswald purchased the weapon bearing the serial number C2766 that was found on the sixth floor of the Depository.
And the Commission has copies of those records directly from the microfilm.
The original paper records were discarded after the microfilm was created, and the microfilm became the Klein's permanent business records.
Readable copies of Oswald's transaction with Klein's was printed at the microfilm reader / printer during Waldman's testimony, entered into evidence, and those became the Warren Commission's records of the transaction.
Why was it necessary to retain the microfilm in the Commission records? What's the problem with those paper copies now in existence now in the Archives?
When you go to your public library and ask for copies of the New York Times from the weekend of the assassination, do you get the original paper copies, or do you get microfilm or electronic copies?
If you wish a paper copy of some article to retain for your records, do you take the microfilm home with you, or do you make a separate printed copy of the article from the microfilm and return the microfilm to the rightful owner?
Is your paper photocopy of the original article from the microfilm of the original printed NY Times newspaper somehow less valid because you printed it from the microfilm?
Really, your argument here is meaningless. Beyond meaningless.
Why not let Klein have a copy of the original and keep the evidence in the Commission collections? Why settle for a photograph of the evidence?
Because the microfilm contained more than just Oswald's transactions. The Warren Commission didn't need to retain the microfilm once they had photocopies of Oswald's transactions. You can view those photocopies starting here:

Those photocopies of Oswald's business transactions from the microfilm of Klein's business records are suitable as evidence.
Really, you're just looking for something to quibble over.
ALL THIS WAS EXPLAINED TO YOU BACK IN GREAT DETAIL IN DECEMBER OF 2015.

Why are you bringing it up again, now, anew?
Why can't you review the thread and read up on it?
Why must it be reposted for your benefit again?
