Appeals court upholds ruling in favor of Ethiopian gun buyer

PROVO — An Ethiopian native who purchased three AK-47s filled out background-check papers sufficiently, even though he provided the wrong number twice, the Utah Court of Appeals ruled.

The court's recent ruling upholds a 4th District Court decision in which Judge Gary Stott tossed out gun charges against Kidus Chane Yohannes.

Yohannes was arrested in June 2007 while he was a student at what was then Utah Valley State College — just months after a student had massacred 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus. Yohannes' Orem roommates had called police, saying they were concerned about his stockpile of weapons, his interest in violent video games and his threats against police officers and the military.

I am totally convinced, a failed prob on part of the prosecutor(s). The question is why does Yohannes need to acquire two AK-47 (assault guns)in here.Is it for a game purpose,a hobby collecting such item or what? There is no gorilla warfare that we know here?So what is the motive to obtain such a high caliber gun if he has clean intention of no adverse effect.
even though we live in a democratic system,any thing suspicious to be a public treat must be revised for further investigation with every legal means possible.

This guy is dangerous, lock him up for the rest of this life before he kills someone. Or, put him in a mental hospital if he is sick.

If they didn't like having a black roommate, than they could had simply asked the man to leave! Everyone here knows that Utah is home of the skin heads and probably only have 100 blacks in the whole state!

In America you have the right to own a gun to protect yourself and your family. These 3 idiots who comment bad about this story need to go in Ethiopia (if they live in America) and be a slave to dictators and kicked around forever. In the USA democracy rules.
