Were you one of the dogkiller cowboys at Ruby Ridge?

Inspectors aren't agents. (Regulatory versus enforcement issue, that.)
Ruby ridge was US Marshals, FBI Crisis Rescue Team. ATF agents (not
inspectors) recommended prosecution of Weaver on weapons charges and
also attempted to arrange an informant deal, before the seige ensued.
