That site is 180 miles from where Bundy was illegally grazing. So who gives a crap what Bundy says. He should get back on his 160 acres and mind his own business. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Perhaps a better idea could be to erect "40 miles of Tall-Fencing" around what's refered to as "Wasington D.C." and convert it to an "Amusement Theme Park" ???
OR
That GROUP MAY (eventually) TRY TO: Come and get what you got ( or own ) ???
OR
It doesnt' matter to YOU because YOU already ... OWN NOTHING ???
.
So he's raising the tattered rag of secession is he? Didn't Rick "I just sprained my brain" Perry do that? How did that work out for him, other than national giggling?

My Opinion is ... ( and will remain as ):
I DO think the states need get control of their own lands because THEY are the ones who live and breath on them.
My Original Post with Observations and Opinions
SO
YES, "What the hell is wrong with you people????? "
.
Nevada can't claim the land because they don't own it and haven't owned it since 1864.
In 1864, Congress passed an act to allow the people of the Territory of Nevada to create a constitution and form the State of Nevada. They did this, but there was a catch. Congress put in a clause that said that the people of Nevada must give up any rights to the land owned by the federal government within Nevada. But, it also said that such a condition was only valid until Congress waived it, in which case the federal government would no longer own that land. And congress never waived it. Not to mention the land became federal property when they bought the land by way of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo signed with Mexico in 1848 to end the Mexican-American War.

I would say checking into this guy would be a good start!
Ryan Payne, a Montana resident who had been staying at the ranch for a month, said he drove eight hours to arrive in the eastern Utah town this morning. Three militia members from the ranch and a handful of people from a group called Citizens Action Network came to Utah, too, he said.
Source
He claims on his ytube channel to be an Army Ranger and he isn't! He was vetted and proven to be not telling the truth and when confronted admitted he was not a Ranger.
He was also part of a group at the Bundy ranch whom was acting in a manner of instigating a deadly confrontation versus trying to just keep calm heads.
It isn't uncommon for agent provocateurs to be used in situations like this when it comes to people standing up against the government.
You can believe the media or hear it first hand from some members of Oath Keepers whom were there.

The BLM relations were fine in that area until the deadbeat who thinks he is above the law started trouble.

My reaction to the posts in this thread is the same as yours.
Where are all of the 2nd amendment supporters condemning the actions of these threatening, handgun-pointing thugs? It's criminal assault to threaten anyone by pointing a gun at them.
Obviously, they are not law-abiding citizens; they're criminals.
Why do strict constitutionalists (States' rights over Federal authority) get to pick and choose what laws they abide by?
Dismal.
