Nasty letters from the Feds or the u.N. are nothing but paper, make them actually enforce it.

You do remember Waco, don't you?. Depending on the time, it was based on either child abuse or illegal weapons.

I remeber Waco, I was in Chicago, siting in a FBO, my chief pilot at the time Ted King, was 66.

Ted, listening to some morons talk about it being "about damn time they got those people", stood up and said, "The government just murdered all those people..........things have changed", the room went silent.

Ted was so right, I can see the whole thing as if it happened this morning.

Alleged child abuse. There were no charges, let alone convictions.

That's not mentioning that David Koresh could have been arrested on his jog.

True, but claiming that every FFL holder in Montana and all LEOs friendly to those FFLs are child molesters will strain credibility somewhat.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m taking this seriously...but these ATF guys are fools if they think that the Montana stste government didn’t consider these possibilities before they passed the bill.

“..Waco,.. Depending on the time, it was based on either child abuse or illegal weapons.”

The actual warrant that “authorized” the arrest of Koresh and a search of the premises ONLY mentions guns. That heinous group of Branch Davidians had the audacity to own 116 AR-15s and approximately 50 handguns of varying types. These were ominously stored in an armory on the compound.

Considering that there were 80 FAMILIES (with 2+ adults each), there's a very good reason the Feds never released the details of the warrant during the siege! That is, the strange, but otherwise peaceful Davidians possessed no more weapons than the average American! The siege might well have become another Lexington, even the date, 19 April, matched!

The child abuse cr@p was pure disinformation put out by the Feds; everyone is against child abuse. Some of us at the time suspected it was BS, because there's NO FEDERAL STATUTE GOVERNING CHILD ABUSE!!
