Yes, and that ck s#cker Charles Schumer prevented the NRA from having an independent analysis of the guns that were supposedly illegally converted to full auto. I believe I heard that those also subsequently disappeared as well.

Oh, yes.

Congressman (now Senator) Chuckles Schumer laid the groundwork for that staged hearing where the public heard all those fake stories about child abuse, underage "marriages" and other nefarious activities going on in the Branch Davidians' "compound."

From what was presented, one could conclude the BATF/FBI attack on the Davidians was justified if only to "save the children."

I was for the first time embarassed to be a Republican when the chairman -- a Republican Congressman for Florida, as I recall -- raised not one objection to the charade the Democrats were putting on by calling "experts" who had no proof whatsoever that Koresh had an arsenal of automatic weapons, bombs and other incendiaries. (The NRA had requested permission to do an independent examination of the weapons recovered after the fire, but were turned down by Clinton's "justice" department.) Rather, the Dems' witnesses specialized in how the Davidians treated their kids.

Schumer had well-rehearsed witnesses present emotion-driven testimony; Republicans on that committee, by contrast, were next to worthless.
