“We classify these groups as violent and anti-government,” said Jim Cavanaugh, who supervises the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operations in portions of the South. “They stockpile things and live off a fear, a paranoia they’re going to need weapons and explosives because some event is going to happen when they will need them.”
Well, are they all anti-government or is the issue really firearms violations?
BTW, this, JBT, ASAC Jim Cavanaugh was Deputy Tactical Coordinator at the Waco debacle. This time they didn't go in shooting, but otherwise this is exactly the same sort of "Raid" that the BATF attempted at Waco.
Cavanaugh said militia groups still pop up from time to time, and authorities' goal is to intercept them before the threat becomes a tragedy.
Like at Waco Jim? Hmm?
