Wasn’t the”gun” charge that he sold a sawed off shotgun that instead of measuring 18” measured 17.88 inches?
His family was murdered over an eighth of an inch...

Washington Post (believe it or not) wrote a good story on it at the time.
Randy was a Green Beret.
Randy Weaver's son:
"Sammy Weaver, a slight target who weighed less than 80 pounds, had been hit twice. He died from a 9mm bullet to the back that pierced his heart."

RIP. Horribly written article but I see that others have corrected most of the errors. The FBI didn't actually become involved until after a team of federal marshals invaded Weaver's property to emplace cameras and one of them opened up with an automatic weapon, killing Weaver's dog, who he had tempted out of the yard by throwing stones at him. Sammy shot and missed and ran home to warn his father, and was fatally shot in the arm and back. Harris's return fire - a single shot from a deer rifle - wounded the fed, who later died on the mountain having not been evacuated by his teammates. That's when they called in the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team with no fewer than eleven snipers, one of whom was Horiuchi, who later killed Vicki Weaver and wounded Randy from ambush.
All of this was over a quarter inch of wood stock, cut by Randy at an ATF agent's direction. Weaver was acquitted by a jury of all charges except failure to appear. A dead dog, a dead boy, a dead woman, and a dead federal marshal, all for nothing.

RIP Randy. You deserved better.

Rest in peace, Randy, with your dear wife, son, and best friend.
Why didn’t this article name the FBI sharpshooter, Lon Horiuchi?
Lon will burn in hell someday soon, with his boss, Janet Reno.
