No, Horne is not talking about altering a COPY of the Zapruder film.
He is suggesting that the camera original was altered.
What he doesn't explain is how Zapruder's copy in his safe was altered.

Some of the alterationists think the whole film was an animation done
personally by hand by Walt Disney. So frackin what?

Who said anything about the SS agents at the NPIC? The only SS agents
involved were the courier and guard. The allegation was that the personnel
at NPIC were actually CIA agents, slightly different from SS. The CIA did
not disclose the fact that the NPIC was a CIA facility until years later.

You assume that anyone would be smart enough to SEE the evidence of
crossfire. So what if one person was? He could be ignored and the whole
thing covered up since he was CIA. It was not up to the SS to tamper with
the film. You are confused or conflating. The allegation is that the CIA
tampered with the film. Never the SS.
Can you explain how 6-8 shots could NOT be a conspiracy? I predict that
all WC defenders will duck this question. They can't even explain the
shooting as a lone nut attack without the need of a Single Bullet Theory.

No, that's silly.
The allegation is NOT that the SS altered the film. If you want to
attack the kooky theory, fine. But don't misrepresent what that theory is.

No, he doesn't. Please leave the SS out of it. They were only couriers
not technicians.

Because they don't believe the story that the damage was done
accidentally. Alteration theories go way beyond a couple of missing frames.

Why should they? They are CIA agents who were quite happy to work with
the CIA. And look at how many years it took LIFE to admit that they
damaged the film.

Fine, but don't misrepresent the kook theories to shoot them down.
