Sounds like they had a decent success rate procecuting repeat gun-crime
felons until the 1990's.  And I would be careful calling Waco a "case"...
many of those folks died under suspicious circumstances without trial,
including several that may not have been armed and whose only crime was
following a wack-job, or being too afraid of him to leave.

I don't remember a trial for several of the Idaho folks, either, although
my memory is more fuzzy on that one.
