Well you asked for it:

Quoted:
"Well I will tell you one thing, before the bombing I told several of my friends that I wondered if the government was going to do anything to keep the Gun Ban from being repealed as was planned. I thought there would be another shooting or something to keep the legislature from voting to repeal the 94 gun ban. Well when the building was bombed I thought, no they would not go that far just to hurt us gun owners. But with what I heard and saw on TV about it I knew that something was very wrong with what they say happened. One thing that really bothered me was the fact that Mcveigh when he was caught was driving a car with out a license plate and that he was carrying a pistol that could be seen under his jacket and considering what he had just done, did not offer any resistance to being arrested. It was just like he wanted to be arrested. He apparently did everything correctly as to setting off the explosive device, but he completely screwed up when it came to escaping. Would someone please explain to me why he would be driving a car with the license plate hanging by one screw, with a weapon in a shoulder holster that was worn under a very light jacket that did not properly cover up his weapon, and he did not simply shoot the cop that stopped him. I know if I had just blown up that building I would not be taken alive, that is a fact.

If we look at the facts of the bombing a few things will be apparent, one is that he was not related to anyone who was killed by the Feds. He had the intelligence to carry out the bombing but was not smart enough to keep from being caught, in fact he would have to be stupid to get caught the way he was. He was a veteran of the gulf war who was passed over for Special Forces, and that meant everything to him. So this is what I believe could have happened. someone from the government came up to him and asked him if he loved his country, of course he said yes, then he was asked if he would be willing to do something extremely dangerous and maybe even a suicide mission for his country, and that if he was successful he could still finally be able to get into the Special Forces.

Now I am not saying that this is what happened, I am just saying that it could have happened. The government wanted to make sure that their gun control agenda would not be endangered, and they needed something to make sure that the gun ban would not be repealed, they needed an incident, and an incident is what they got.

Ok maybe I am a conspiracy nut for believing this but I would not put anything beyond what this government is capable of, especially the Clinton Administration."

Why not, we have a couple of members here saying that Tim McVeigh is innocent, that he's a "patsy" and that he was set up by the Fed.

Most Anglos laughed at African Americans for being so Ethno-Centric and blind, it goes both ways I guess...

B&G, you are right, it was a setup.  But why is it that we scream bloody murder when blacks bury their head in the sand but we don't do the same when our own do also?

Am I the only one that thinks 7.62X51's comments aren't somewhat delusional?

B&G, I'm white and I'm criticizing fellow whites for taking a RACIAL double standard.  Most of the "tough guys" here would be screaming for his head had McVeigh been a Black Panther!
