Schroeder’s body was left to rot where he died for five days until his relatives pressured the ATF and took the body for burial.Get the Battle Pass for the chance to earn all of the content available in the Nightmare stream. But when Agents were walking to their base of operations, one of the agents who was still near Schroeder shot him twice in the head and killed him. According to an anonymous agent, Schroeder was still alive when the ATF agents left him to die. Three branch Davidians who were returning for a gun show, two of them were arrested but third man named Michael Schroeder(pictured on the right) resisted the arrest and wanted to get into compound because his wife and children were inside.ĪTF agents took him to a seclude riverbed nearby and shot him 17 times. “Texas Ranger Captain told the ATF agents what David Koresh had told him, but ATF agents refused about the cease fire and told him that they had a plan of their own to deal with Koresh. The great Federal Government in all its murderous glory… Key to regaining our liberty is making government officials abide by the same rules against the initiation of violence that apply to private citizens.
The Waco massacre is proof that, as the late libertarian Karl Hess put it, “whenever you put your faith in big government for any reason, sooner or later you end up an apologist for mass murder.” Those of us who understand this must continue to spread the truth about the true nature of the welfare-warfare-regulatory state. This would not bother Chipman since he told the Senate Judiciary Committee that law-abiding gun owners are potential criminals. Chipman’s proposal would lead to the arresting of many innocent Americans. The background check produces many false positives. In addition to supporting red flag laws, he wants the ATF to arrest Americans who cannot buy a firearm because they failed a federal background check. Chipman is an outspoken defender of the ATF’s actions at Waco. Expanding red flag laws will violate Americans’ Second Amendment rights, disregard due process, and lead to police being in more violent encounters.ĭavid Chipman, President Biden’s nominee to head the ATF, is a former ATF agent turned gun control lobbyist. Not surprisingly, allowing police to show up at a person’s home and demand he surrender his firearms can lead to violence. Red flag laws allow law enforcement to seize an individual’s firearms based on an allegation the individual may turn violent. Last week, the ATF helped further Biden’s anti-Second Amendment agenda by issuing a proposed regulation regarding pistols fitted with stabilizers, thus allowing the agency to harass more gun owners.Īlso last week, the Department of Justice unveiled model red flag legislation to encourage more states to adopt these laws. This is one reason why all those who value liberty must oppose all gun control laws, such as those currently being advocated by President Joe Biden and his congressional allies. Infringements on the Second Amendment empower the federal police state. The initial raid on the Branch Davidian compound was justified by claims the Davidians were violating unconstitutional gun laws. The people will not be safe from militarized law enforcement until Section 1033 is repealed and the military-industrial complex is dismantled. This is largely thanks to the Section 1033 program that provides military-grade equipment to local law enforcement. In the 28 years since Waco, the military-industrial complex’s role in domestic law enforcement has grown. Eventually the deadly tools of the military-industrial complex will be brought home and used against US citizens.
Waco illustrates the dangers to our lives and liberties posed by a hyper-interventionist foreign policy. So, if the assault had occurred on foreign soil as part of a military operation, it would have been a war crime. The ATF used CS tear gas against the Dravidians, even though the gas was banned by an international treaty the US agreed to just months before the assault. The assault followed a botched raid on the Davidian compound (staged at a time that it would distract attention from an ATF sexual harassment scandal) and a two-month standoff between the Davidians and the agency. April 19 was the 28th anniversary of one of the most shameful episodes in modern American history: the massacre of 76 innocent men, women, and children by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) in a military-style assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.
