Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Where do you stand? [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)and they were stockpiling guns and ammo to use for what? (overthrowing a government or an OKL City event like what happened later).
they were a group of terrorists, but back then, no one called them that.
they were American rightwing extremist terrorists.(back then who even heard of gun stockpiling and survivalists to overthrow the federal government).
and the leader it seems was felt was the only one who could control them to not do what ever they planned, therefore taking him out off property made no sense, as they could not predict what would happen if that happened.
The strawman was the spin on this, and it confused me and alot of people for a number of years after in the right/wrong area.
But these people were doing illegal things and in effect terrorists plotting against the nation.
Something now easily seen.
In retrospect it is easy to see and answers the questions, and in retrospect we see what a hero Janet Reno was.
(unless of course one is saying that after they killed the FBI agent, they should not have done anything about it...is that what you are saying? I don't think so, but there are only 2 answers here. Either what Janet and the team did was good, or it was not good.
And Janet and the team was more than patient, giving them every opportunity.
And they wasted a good family man federal agent.
And it wasn't Janet that started the fire in any instance.
She is a hero in my book.
(one is surprised though at the hypocricy being shown by those who feel a gun is needed to avenge any in advance attack on a person, yet if a federal agent is shot dead in cold blood by a band of terrorists, that shouldn't happen??? WTF is wrong with that hypocricy.???)
And I for one welcome her back in a President Hillary Clinton45 term 2017-2024 in any position she would be offered by President Hillary Clinton.
