The Branch Davidian Siege? Ruby Ridge? That was over a TAX on guns... I thought Waco was about Koresh having an arsenal of weapons and allegedly that Koresh was abusing children. I'm not defending anything the government did, but I don't recall it being over taxes.

The only difference between an "illegal" weapon and a "legal" one is the tax you have to pay to own one. The entire "raid" was based on the rumor that the Koresh had bought/modified weapons without the proper paperwork and fees paid.

(My common ground with terrorists - They want to die for Islam, and we want to kill them.)
