The anti-gunners make so much of the rare mass shootings, but the most common scenario is when a criminal shoots someone. Criminals shooting people irritate me because we’ve already had a chance to correct the person, but we’ve somehow left them free to cause more trouble.
City police late Sunday night made an arrest in Asheville’s first homicide of 2013.
At least the story tells us that he was arrested for felon in possession as well as murder.
Look carefully at this rap sheet. He’s previously been convicted of felon in possession. At the same time he got convicted of felon in possession he was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, discharge of a firearm into an occupied property, and assault inflicting serious injury. After all of that he was sentenced to a maximum of 3 years in prison.
Is it any wonder that we have so many murders? Why wasn’t this guy slammed with some serious time for these crimes? Why wasn’t he handed over to the Feds for prosecution under federal felon in possession statutes?
It’s like the “justice” system is filled with people who just don’t care. Now we’ve got another person dead and we law-abiding gun owners will get blamed for it.
If you go to chasthuglife you will see how few charges actually stick and how little time is served. I had to stop following it eventually, the lack of justice made me too mad.
About as senseless as the “hunters” who murdered a Ft. Bragg soldier out hunting ducks. Seriously, you take the life of someone over…ducks?

Wonder what this trash thought was worth killing a soldier for…..
Once again, it only proves that if your only tool is a hammer, every obstacle is a nail.
PS: We were your range mates (on your left) at Wake a few weeks ago. You seemed pretty sensible regarding the actual use of firearms. Keep things on target.
