The right to keep and bear arms is a constitutionally protected right and that is precisely why folks get defensive when their protected rights are questioned. The Constitution is a contract that is the lawful reins with which you control your government. The people dropped the reins and the government went out of control. It is a pleasure to see honorable men like Jeff McCloskey, David Cox and John Pennington stepping up to educate and get control of the reins again.

I know about the second amendment. Did I EVER question Bundy's right to carry arms? NO, I didn't. So, WHY bring it up?

Also I taught U.S. history and government years ago so I don't need a lecture on the Constitution either. I know you mean well.

My husband had many guns, well, four rifles, and 10 pistols. My personal favorite was the little Baretta. I used to shoot at Osama bin Laden's beard as my target. I got pretty good at nailing his throat! :o)

The GOP can get control of the reins again if they can produce a decent candidate. I won't vote for a Mormon. They STILL believe that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers! Whaaat? Where did they GET that garbage?

Here's some history for you:

Wayne Hage (Cliven Bundy's predecessor), and the US Forest Service which conspired against him (as detailed by the Federal judge hearing the case):

Federal Judge Accuses Federal Land Managers of Attempting to Bankrupt Ranch

June 14, 2013
In a scathing 104-page opinion a Nevada federal judge lambasted the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service for behavior that “shocks the conscience” of the court, accusing federal officials of attempting to bankrupt the Hage family ranch by entering into “a literal, intentional conspiracy to deprive the Hages not only of their permits but also of their vested water rights.”...

Cliven Bundy was one of Wayne Hage's supporters at Hage's "felony brush-cutting" trial.

You rest assured that the BLM is up to the same tricks.

That's why they destroyed Bundy's water retention tanks and equipment - without a court order.

Don't be a deadbeat by taking the word of deadbeat "journalists".
