You can punish/prosecute the crimes of those who practice this religion, but you cannot prosecute the religion, based on the 1st Amendment. I think that's probably true of everything ----good or bad. I guess the Davidian religion wasn't one of our government's recognized religions but I'm not sure what they did that was that much of a threat to anyone.

And that, my friend, is why we have a Constitution. Even if we have seen some attempt the bastardization of that Constitution.

The Davidians became the target of Reno's Department of (in)Justice by "stockpiling" weapons.
