On August 21, 1992 a paramilitary unit of the U.S. Marshals Service ventured onto the 20-acre property known as Ruby Ridge.

-------

During the night, FBI snipers took positions around the Weaver cabin. There is no dispute about the fact that the snipers were given illegal "shoot to kill" orders. Under the law, police agents can use deadly force to defend themselves and others from imminent attack, but these snipers were instructed to shoot any adult who was armed and outside the cabin, regardless of whether the adult posed a threat or not.

You are correct, the same President who gave us the 89 assault weapons ban.

This was one of the reasons that I voted Perot in 92. However I learned that lesson the hard way.

I don't think though that GH was that involved. The problem stemmed from an out of control alphabet soup orginazation trying to justify their existence.
