Actually, they were killed because Weaver wouldn't roll over and inform on neighbors and associates who were suspected of being raycists. The charge of manufacturing a short barreled shotgun was supposed to be the leverage by which they controlled Weaver, but he wouldn't play their game and just went home. No doubt someone in the BATF took offense at the refusal of their 'generous' offer to become a snitch. Call a spade a spade.
No, see you can't legally shoot someone or arrest them for NOT being an informant. They were killed because of a stupid 200 dollar tax which gives the BATF the power to kill without concern for the Constitution.
None of the people who violated the Weaver's Constitutional Rights ever suffered a single "legal" consequence.
People saying they will "give guns to who ever they please" no matter what the laws say are doing two things.
1. They are showing the really don't understand the situation.
2. They are further showing their ignorance by declaring such openly on a website that is guaranteed to be monitored by the very folks that enforce those laws.
