Fwiw, I'm pretty sure it wasn't about the guns. The local sheriff knew about the guns and had even gone shooting with Koresh. But throughout the almost two-month standoff, there was a constant shift in the reason: we were told he had an arsenal of weapons, that he believed he was Jesus, that his followers were a Jim Jones-type cult, that he had multiple wives, that there was child porn involved. TPTB made the reporters stay a mile away, then they burned the place down---then bulldozed it all under so we'll never know the truth. I suspect he was preaching things the synagogue of satan didn't want people to know.
