USA.
Waco TX, Branch Davidian (religious cult) compound siege. Precipitating event: alleged failure to register NFA guns with a $200 tax. Dynamic raid with media invited to publicize; 4 cops killed in initial raid, most occupants died in eventual fire when feds moved to destroy the occupied compound.
Oklahoma City federal building: enraged by the Waco event, a couple, um, psychos blew up the building on the second anniversary of the siege end.
Everyone is forgetting that in such high tension issues, the nuts are most likely to make the first and most severe moves. Most people on both sides are unlikely to side with David Koresh or Timothy McVeigh, but they acted first when the SHTF on gun control.
And yes, ONE raid to confiscate guns resulted in 244 dead.
