The siege at Waco was over a $200 tax; media and the government injected religion and child molestation into it to bury the reason they went after the family.
Government murderers.
The initial contact at Waco was because ATF claimed the Davidians had semiautomatic rifles that had been converted to automatic by a “kit”.
These were semi-auto rifles that “looked like” the M-16 or AR-15 platform. In other words, just like what libs want to “ban” now, and are calling them “assault” weapons (not rifles, mind you, because if they did they would be dead wrong,since they are already specially licensed).
The “search warrant” serving was first by ATF, who blew it, bigtime.
