Bad analogy. BLM was using Bundy’s grazing fee’s to disposes him instead of using it to do improvements and pay wages of BLM employees. The family had been on the the Bundy allotment 150 years. The allotments were given to encourage settlement now the country reneges an use a tortoise for an excuse. Because there is a appearance that politics of senator Reid and his cronyism.
I don't think so. No one really OWNS land. We get to "rent" it for a bit of time while we are on earth.
BTW, I think Reid is a pimp.
We can keep willing it to our heirs but sooner or later said family will lose that bit of land.
Being on Bundy land for 1000 years STILL doesn't give him the right to graze that land because it's not HIS anymore. It's a shame that he lost it, but he lost it and won't be getting it back any time soon. Is that worth dying for? I don't think so.
WHY didn't he "lawyer up" and keep the government from buying that land?
I would die for family and friends but not for a piece of property. Especially one that I didn't own anymore. Land isn't worth that sacrifice.
SURELY this past Sunday taught you that.
“The family had been on the the Bundy allotment 150 years.”
A dubious claim.

“Clark County property records show Cliven Bundy’s parents bought the 160 acre ranch in 1948 from Raoul and Ruth Leavitt.
Water rights were transferred too, but only to the ranch, not the federally managed land surrounding it. Court records show Bundy family cattle didn’t start grazing on that land until 1954.”
