The goal of conducting this research is to establish the intention of the legislation as envisaged by Congress.

In his childhood years, Koresh claimed that he had seen God, who had spoken to him and labelled him the messiah. Besides, it is believed that Koresh had memorized the new and the old testament when he was 18 years old (De Villiers, 2018). In 1993, a day that would remain synonymous to most of the Americans, there was a 51-day siege between the government and the extremist religious sect led by Koresh (Wessinger, 2005). The siege intended to collect and arrests Koresh for illegal possession of weapons and ammunition.
