Randy sawed off a shotgun like 1/2" too short, based on the mark the undercover fed gave him on the barrel.
I appreciate your final paragraph, that those mentioned did not deserve to die. I think we can all agree they made stupid decisions, but some of them were fighting for ideals they believed in.
The video evidence from inside the vehicle of finnicum sure sounds like HRT fires at the vehicle after they stopped the second time.
He was trying to make it to the sheriff to have a fair discussion, and was gunned down by overzealous feds and state police. Just ny humble opinion.
This gets run around the net a lot and it's NOT what Weaver said when I saw him interviewed. I watched an interview where he admitted he was stupid to do what he did. Said the guy wanted him to cut the shotgun to illegal length and Weaver knew it. He claimed the guy kept asking him so he finally did it for him for cash. Now I don't know if he is now decades later trying to change that story knowing it makes him sound like a rube or it it's still net gossip. when he first admitted it he said he knew what he was doing was illegal. He should have told the person to use the money he wanted to pay him to buy a damn hacksaw. How stupid do you need to be to let someone talk you into cutting off a shotgun barrel for you to an illegal length for money????
Granted the way it was handled after was a major FUBAR but Weaver walked right into that mess by his own stupidity.
