I mean, the entire Ruby Ridge fiasco happened because the ATF sent an agent to try and trick him into selling guns to him. When he refused, they just made up that he did it anyway and things rapidly spiraled from there.
But nobody talks about that part. We can't have people knowing the honeypots can go that badly and they will outright lie if they fail. They'd rather people think they are wholesale murderers than know how big they are into pushing people into crimes so they can arrest them.
Most conversation I've seen and been parts of focus on the shootout, instead of the lead in. Most even just accept he was a white supremacist and some crazy kook and that's why they showed up.

Nobody talks about it? That's literally the whole point of the incident. That's what the arrest warrant was for in the first place.

IDK, I've always basically heard about that. Even in the made for TV movies and stuff.
