deltecs I have worked with BATF agents, and these agents go into the agency fully aware of the laws they will enforce, and have ALREADY made the decision to violate the second amendment if instructed to do so. Your perception of civil rights and an agency members perception many times will be two different things.
As far as Randy Weaver, I have read much about his plight. He stood VIRTUALLY ALONE in the stand off, while his son decomposed in the birthing shed, and his wife on the kitchen floor.
U.S. Marshall's LIED, and the Hostage Rescue Team finished up on the siege. No prison for anyone.
Yes a small group of "protesters" stood at a distance and "protested"
but, Randy and remaining family members +1 withstood the ordeal alone. NO ONE offered to fight. NOT ONE.
Oh! And that sniper that shot Vickie while she held her baby? He was at Waco too, and shot several innocents there also.
Money replaced nothing, and it took years to get it. Protesting is not the same as participating, and few will participate, but many will blow off about it. I have seen men left twisting in the wind for a lot less than 2nd Amendment rights while so called patriots stood by and whispered among themselves, and did nothing while at the same time knowing full well the man was innocent.
I and two others recently stood up for such a man in a church matter, while over 20 other men stood by and watched a fellow Christian, Church member, and Class member be railroaded out of the church. He has since been found faultless, and still these men will not jeopardize their standing. He and we three stood alone while the entire church whispered what a bad deal the man received. It changed nothing other than my attendance to certain activities, and my unwillingness to set at the table with such men.
