“You might want to learn a little US history”

Yes, you should. And you might want to go back further and “review” how the Federal Government’s extortion plan garnered them 85% of Nevada “in exchange” for statehood. This land was a “taking” by the Feds and it needs to be returned to the citizens of each state from which they took it. Right now, Nevada would do a whole lot better being an “independent” state. Just look at what “bribing the Feds” has gotten them, and for that matter all the rest of the Western States as well. These fed bastards “own” more than half of California! Go look at a map that shows their “ownership” state by state. They need to be “compelled” to return what they stole.

Yes I understand that many think it’s unfair that the government owns so much land out west but honestly that argument is a big red herring in this case.

The ownership situation is what it is. It is no secret who owns that land. Bundy willingly entered into permit agreements to use the land. Nobody forced him to use the land or increase his herd so he needed more land. He owns his own property that he has free use of, however he wants to extend the same “rights” to property that simply isn’t his. He wants to use US taxpayer owned property for his business, with no restrictions and at no cost.

He has consistently lost in court and has no legal leg to stand on.

There are legal avenues for doing that. You just need a compelling legal argument.
