Local news reports A Weaverville man is fighting for his life after a friend shot him in the head overnight.First of all, are you kidding me with that charge of "possession of a weapon of mass destruction?" Is that true? A sawed off shotgun is a weapon of mass destruction?
John Kurt Rufus Tipton was transported to Mission Hospital with a bullet still lodged in his brain following the 1 a.m. shooting, authorities said. The shooting happened at the home of James Kyle Brown.
Buncombe sheriff’s detectives believe the shooting was accidental as the men were examining a .22 caliber pistol.
Brown was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and possession of a weapon of mass destruction, according to warrants at the Buncombe County magistrate’s office.
The weapon of mass destruction charge was for a sawed-off .20 gauge shotgun found in the home, according to warrants.
Secondly, why the disparity in charging this guy with "assault with a deadly weapon," but not charging the Texas man who shot his wife in bed at all?
Don't you think we need to regularize the application of gun control laws? Shouldn't that be done on the federal level?
What do your think? Please leave a comment.
