Unfortuately, the 'Justice' Dept goes after many ordinary citizens for violating a LOT of unconstitutional federal regulations on weapons. IE, - Randy Weaver, or Waco.

Geez, Randy Weaver and the Branch Davidians are now saints of conservatism (barf). Both of those situations could have been resolved without violence if Randy Weaver and David Koresh hadnt been paranoid schizods. You really think law enforcement, when they come with their warrants, are just going to walk away because you want it that way? A little common sense please.

Um, the BATF JBTs didn't have the warrant in their possession when they stormed Waco. They weren't there to arrest anyone, they were there to kill people. Koresh could have been picked up in town if an arrest were necessary, but he even invited BATF in earlier to inspect whatever it was of his/theirs they wanted to inspect. (The BATF refused. "We've got other plans.")

In both cases, government goon squads went to commit murder on the flimsiest of pretenses.

One case under Klinton, one under Bush the first.

But that's all right with you, isn't it?

Got your nice, shiny Black Magnums on right now, don't you?
