"Randy seems to have been bought off, too. He won't say anything about the BATF anymore."

Mr. Weaver never was an "activist", any more than he was a "white separatist para-military".
He lost his wife and a son: Who could blame him for fearing the same things could happen again, when the same folks still work at the FBI, and nobody there was punished in any way?

No insult meant to Randy Weaver. Just an observation. If I were in his position I would keep an even lower profile.
