No, Chris, he's right. Waco was a case of a few nuts who went too far, specifically, a few nuts in our government agencies.

You may hypothesize what you want about historic government abuses of power. I admit that I do not have the information to prove you wrong. However, I will address (what I think is) your main point. I don't see how you can say that the federal government does not serve the people. It does, almost to a fault. If our government did not do so, it would cease to exist the next election cycle. No one can stop you from running for office and correcting the system. A democratic government simply cannot thwart the needs of the people and continue to exist. Thus there is no need for armed resistance.
