A possibly dumb question: the main armament was removed due constitutional reasons which forbid using certain kind of weapons against US citizens on American soil?

The 25mm barrels and coax MGs were most likely removed for transport. Nothing in the Posse Comitatus Act adresses types of weapons used. Also, Posse Comitatus did not apply at Waco since they were Texas National Guard troops (TX 49th AR DIV) in a Title 32 state active duty status, not Title 10 federal active duty status. State National Guards are exempt from the Posse Comitatus Act if not federalized.

Also, the Posse Comitatus Act was enacted in 1878 in response to the improper use of military troops in the South during the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. Eisenhower using federal troops to enforce federal law when state/local law enforcement refused to was an allowed exception to the law. Specifically, Eisenhower used the Enforcement Acts, which allow the president to use federal military forces when state authorities are either unable or unwilling to suppress violence that is in opposition to the constitutional rights of the people.

On the rear of the turret they have a kind of support that I don´t find in Tamiya kit.

They're the brackets to hold the ammo cans. Not sure if anyone at all makes them

Look at the second photo. There is tape over the bumper codes on the truck.

The two Bradley's were unassigned vehicles? (One reason there would be no gun fitted)

They are available in Eduard's PE sets for the M2, M3, and M2A2.

I didn't realize there was an Abrams there too.

"The markings were hidden to remove the visible connection to the Army"

Yeah, it was the bumper codes that would have made people think, "that thing is from the Army," not the actual IFV itself.....
