Waco siege
editOn February 28, 1993, the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) attempted to execute a search warrant at the Branch Davidian ranch at Mount Carmel, a property located nine miles (14 km) east-northeast of Waco, Texas. An exchange of gunfire resulted in the deaths of four agents and six Davidians. A subsequent 51-day siege by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ended on April 19 when the complex was destroyed by fire. Seventy-six people, including 21 children and two pregnant women, along with Davidian leader David Koresh, died in the incident. This has come to be known as the Waco Siege. This incident began as an attempt by the ATF to enforce gun control laws under the new Clinton Administration.
No source. No description of a gun control policy. No connection to Clinton or appointees until the siege was underway. It's a classic WP:Coatrack. Felsic2 (talk) 08:34, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
