You only believe what you want to believe in.
"The group was suspected of weapons violations and a search and arrest warrant was obtained."
The group was suspected of weapons violations, they had a search warrant, and they also had an arrest warrant.

They didn't? The ATF just walked up and started shooting?
I'm pretty confident they did announce themselves.

This is very simple Brett. People in town had multiple reasons to be concerned about a group of well armed people. A series of newspaper articles were published about how they were abusing children, and how their leader thought he had the right to have "one hundred and forty wives". A former Former Branch Davidian members told law enforcement they had been modifying AR15, automatic gun fire had been heard at the compound, and a UPS driver reported more suspicious activity at the compound including handguns, grenades, and gun power. The local sheriff called ATF in for help.
When law enforcement rolled up - and I am sure they rolled up in force being as they were out numbered five to one against what they already knew was a well armed group of people, the Branch Davidians shot at police officers.
Again, it's very simple - common sense really. Law enforcement had plenty of reasons to have multiple warrant, and when they shot at police officers the potential minor firearm violations were the least of their crimes.
