Today in History

Post by RPB »

.


FEB 28 .... 19th anniversary of BATF murdering a branch of Seventh Day Adventists in Waco Texas for allegedly not paying $200 manufacture fee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_siege" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
accused of stockpiling illegal weapons. Authorities investigated these charges and obtained a warrant to search Koresh's compound. Former Davidian Marc Breault claimed that Koresh had "...M16 lower receiver parts"[7] (combining M16 trigger components with a modified AR-15 lower receiver possibly constitutes the manufacture of a firearm that would be classified as a machine gun;[10] the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 effectively outlawed civilian ownership of any machine guns manufactured after the date of enactment[11])
On February 28, shortly after the attempt to serve the warrant, an intense gun battle erupted, lasting nearly 2 hours. In this armed exchange, four agents and six Branch Davidians were killed. Upon the ATF's failure to execute the search warrant, a siege was initiated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The siege ended 50 days later when a second assault on the compound was made and a fire destroyed the compound. 76 people (24 of them British nationals)[2] died in the fire, including more than 20 children, two pregnant women, and the sect leader David Koresh.
Remember the machine guns they held up on TV proving the BATFE actions were justified because the guns which could fire more than once with only one trigger pull had been manufactured WITHOUT the $200.00 fee/tax being paid first?

I don't.


Now we just go fast and furious

Moral:
Remember to pay your taxes/fees/pound of flesh to the agency which infringes on rights by making regulations/rules, else there be consequences because they mean bidness.. They want those manufacture fees and transfer fees ...alcohol/cigarette taxes etc.

Them tax collectors always seem to get bad press don't they? Even in the Bible.
