		The accelerating pace of executions in the United States of America (USA) in recent years – two thirds of the more than 600 prisoners put to death since the USA resumed executions in 1977 have been killed since 1993 – stands in stark contrast to much of the rest of the world.

		Given that the arrest and search warrants were based, in part, on the evidence that the Davidians were in possession of illegal automatic weapons, the subcommittees believe it was reasonable for the ATF to have presumed that the Davidians might fire on them had they announced their intent to serve the warrants in advance.
