I’ve never seen any real evidence that they had full auto weapons , which is the reason given for the raid. The NRA offered to pay for an independent lab to test the remains of the rifles to see if any had been illegally converted. The govt said no and destroyed the evidence so it can never be tested.
The atf also lied about suspected illegal drug activity in order to get use of air national guard helicopters. Getting around posse comitatus . Also the first shots fired were the atf killing the davidians lab retriever and her puppies. Somewhere on the web they have the photo of the dead dogs lined up. It’s possible that the other agents heard the shots killing the puppies and thought they were being fired on and commenced firing.
When was the “Full Auto Evidence” destroyed ?
Last I heard was that it was locked up at DPS HQ in Austin and off limits to Everybody.
IIRC- there were X-Rays of the burned/melted Firearms in question that showed NONE were Full Auto.
Can anyone else recall this ?
