Are any of those weapons illegal? Don't think so. Is it illegal to have a lot of weapons? No. Were the UPS parcel contents illegal? No. Was the warrant legal? Appears not - the authorities withheld key info from the magistrate. The last group in this country for which it is fine and dandy to express bigotry is Christians, and if it is a minor Christian group, turn the bigot accelerator to max. In a country in which the Pee See Marines are called out and hit the beach if someone says anything that even smells critical of blacks, the media and others openly deride such groups as Koresh's and call them "cults". In my opinion, in the case of Waco, this created a mindset in the gung-ho ATF/FBI officials that the "cult" must be up to no good (as opposed to just being gun afficianados) and let's go in and clear 'em out, with an illegal warrant, and it's OK because they're just a "cult".

[QUOTE="Libsmasher, post: 35689, member: 718"] Are any of those weapons illegal? Don't think so. Is it illegal to have a lot of weapons? No. Were the UPS parcel contents illegal? No. Was the warrant legal? Appears not - the authorities withheld key info from the magistrate. The last group in this country for which it is fine and dandy to express bigotry is Christians, and if it is a minor Christian group, turn the bigot accelerator to max. In a country in which the Pee See Marines are called out and hit the beach if someone says anything that even [I]smells[/I] critical of blacks, the media and others openly deride such groups as Koresh's and call them "cults". In my opinion, in the case of Waco, this created a mindset in the gung-ho ATF/FBI officials that the "cult" must be up to no good (as opposed to just being gun afficianados) and let's go in and clear 'em out, with an illegal warrant, and it's OK because they're just a "cult".
