Do you have any evidence of this? This is nothing more than made up garbage by the bottom feeders of federal law enforcement, the ATF, or F Troop.

At least one person who was a resident at the Mt. Carmel campus was an FFL holder, and I'd heard in the past that there might have been upwards of three.
.
They bought and sold used machine guns at gun shows, repairing and testing them at their property.
.
The BATF(E) called several times to conduct an inspection, and Koresh invited them.
.
The problem is that the BATF(E) never came around to actually visit the place.
.
Then they (BATF(E)) made up the story that they were denied entry onto the property.
.
Such a remark is specious simply for the fact that there were neither closed gates nor signs indicating 'no trespassing.'
.
The BATF(E) went so far as to fabricate that Koresh was a wanted man, but they never undertook to actually visit the campus, or even accost him on the streets of Waco, where he frequented several stores.
.
They have easily arrested him in public, and as much was revealed later in Congressional hearings.
.
The fact is just this: They were lawfully dealing in class III weapons and the BATF(E) knew just that.

I am ashamed of the State of Texas for not arresting those so-called federal law ENFORCEMENT officers and trying them for the multiple murders that they caused.

The Texas Rangers did do an investigation and found no evidence of any wrong doing by the Branch Davidians. Of course you don't hear about that.

What must be gleaned from Waco is, bottom line, the Federal Government, because of an over zealous Attorney General (Janet Rinno)trying to help a federal agency (ATF) get publicity and at the same time "drum up support" for more gun control (the assault weapon ban)got a bunch of women and children killed.
It must also be noted that our current anti gun Attorney General (Eric Holder) was the assistant AG during that time frame and therefore should share in the blame for all of those unjust deaths.
