alt Hacker News> The ATF approached him and asked him to do it.
And that’s shitty and entrapment. Which is why the charges were dismissed.
I wonder how you see the government do something bad and think a dictatorship is the solution.
> The ATF was the only 'white supremacist' that we even suspect Weaver might have discussed gunsmithing with.
Is there something backing this claim? Like, was there testimony somewhere from the rest of the Aryan Nations group that he never discussed this with anyone else?
You’re also putting “white supremacist” in quotes like that’s questionable. Maybe the ATF agent was not a white supremacist but this was at an Aryan Nations meeting and Weaver was a self described white separatist.

OK I stand corrected, you still suspect it, even though the only evidence has turned up is that he dealt to ATF agents after they asked him to do it but actually he was acquitted of that. So you suspect he did this with others without evidence just like I might suspect he is Bigfoot or DB Cooper since I cannot prove that negative.

I do not. I am not in favor of any monopolistic form of government, so that eliminates both democracy and dictatorships.
