This is where our Great Overlords have allowed us to speak freely. We must use it wisely.

Nah.
I've been kicked in the teeth plenty of times on FR. Some of it I deserved; some of it I didn't.
You're rather tame by comparison. In fact, you're pretty polite.
The powers of the fed gov are enumerated. The list of what the fed gov can own, as per land, and its uses, are clearly lined out.
It is my opinion that the disclaim by Nevada means nothing. There is no Constitutionally legal use to which the fed gov can own that land, unless that land is used as specified within the restrictions upon the fed gov.
Simply getting away with an illegal act does not make it legit. And, just because it’s been a long time since the act was committed, doesn’t mean it can’t, or even shouldn’t, be remedied.
Yes, I am claiming that the deal made between Nevada and the fed gov was shenanigans.
It is indeed a dangerous situation. It’s not the hill I would pick to die on.
Me?!!? Polite!!?
How dare you, sir. Don’t you tell anyone. I got a reputation to preserve.
Anyhoo, this isn’t an issue (this land thing) I’ve ever had to argue or think deep on, so I do thank you for the roundy-rounds we’ve been having.
This is where I am also.... And where I was asking a very similar question just previously.. (btw, thanks for this discussion, it is very useful.)
“Nevada disclaimed all right to the land (and authority over it) when it became a state. It gave authority over that land to the federal government and, to my knowledge, it has not since claimed any authority over the land. Are you suggesting that Nevada did/does not have that right? (Not argumentative. Sincere question.) “
If that’s true, this just got a whole lot more serious and whole lot more dangerous.
Liberty tree....the blood of tyrants.....and patriots.
One thing though, the video capture and dissemination
of what ever happens, has been facilitated like never
before.
Interesting times my friend.
Sorry I missed your question earlier. I think I gave my opinion on it in #242.
Keep in mind, I’m no expert and there might well be a clause somewhere that I missed that renders my entire argument non operational.
Ping!
I found the following site very informative. There are comments from local residents for and against Bundy.

It’s been a productive and informative discussion. I think we accomplished quite a bit. Thank you also.
Prayers for these freedom-lovers for their courage and strength. They could be the impetus of the long-overdue civil war that is inevitable. And the impetus usually gets it the worst.
Sooo...
Pencil in another roundy-round, next month, about federal parks?
LOL - great disclaimer,... “ renders my entire argument non operational”
Well if you find one, let me know, because then I have to rethink this whole dang thing also,...
This is where our Great Overlords have allowed us to speak freely. We must use it wisely.
Could very well be.
These kinds of discussions are very important to me, because I have these types of discussions with my children and clan and tribe. In todays time, something small could ignite the powder keg; and I want all of mine to understand the deeper issues and not to get swept up into an emotional frenzy.
It is form of control that governments use emotion to overwhelm reason.
Too true.
Don’t take any part of my argument as gospel. Verify verify verify.
Our lives, in a very real sense, depend on such things these days.
Ooooh yeah!
That is an iconic photograph.
