>>> Yep. And law enforcement — a catch-all term ranging from local cops to Feds — has a willing and crucial accomplice in this. It’s just like the MSM to tell you about the number and classification of weapons seized, but to forget to include the little detail that it included totally legal firearms, watch chains, “legal” pocket knives, repair tools/widgets, and even fingernail clippers. The MSM barely mentioned that tidbit. <<<

This is an issue I’ve been going on about through most of these threads: that there are a lot of folks in jail for legal concealed carry as well as possession of things not normally considered weapons.

Also, there are a large number of ‘weapons’ seized from vehicles (including 12 rifles and shotguns) that played no part in the melee but are counted by the cops as ‘weapons’ to make the totals bigger and scarier.

Hell, I think the Waco cops would count a kid’s cap gun as an ‘explosive device’ just to add a little more spin.

The point is that this whole ‘weapons’ thing is where the most obvious misdirection is taking place and the most proof that there’s something bad going on in Waco.
