That's one of the more absurd things I've seen posted here lately.

I suppose the large cache of weapons many FReepers own means they are willing to kill anyone who is not a member?

You obviously didn't bother to read the link The Waco Davidian Standoff. A passage from the article states:

Koresh's leadership of the Davidians began with violence. A gun battle in 1987 between Koresh (assisted by 7 heavily armed followers) and a rival leader George Roden Jr. led to his trial for attempted murder. But the jury deadlocked and prosecutors chose not to retry Koresh. Texas prosecutor Denise Wilkerson observed at the time that David Koresh "was building an arsenal" and "preparing for a battle with someone."

Koresh was extremely violent by nature. Combine this with weapons such as multiple machine guns, assault rifles and a rocket shell and the end result is not only someone who intends to use them but will use them, in his case against the BATF!

All this ignores the fact they were producing weapons illegally as evident by the lathes, milling equipment and tooling machinery found at the compound used to convert assault rifles to automatic weapons.
