Tensions simmered Tuesday in the standoff between federal land managers and a Nevada rancher—but the feds are being coy about how far they’ll go to pursue Cliven Bundy as both sides regroup for their next move.

Federal land managers backed down in a weekend standoff with Bundy after hundreds of states’ rights protesters, including armed militia members, showed up to protest federal officials seizing his cattle. Some protesters had their guns drawn and pointed toward law enforcement, some of whom were also armed, on the scene—ultimately, no shots were fired and the Bureau of Land Management reported that officials left over safety concerns.

There’s only one way to remove the problem. Relieve the men in office that are stirring the pot from their posts.

We know this wouldn’t stop even if Mr. Bundy showed up with all the back grazing fees. They want the land and removing his cattle for not paying the grazing fees is simply a pretext.

Nothing will happen until after the election. Obama isn’t going to risk a single vote over this.

Why should Bundy have to pay grazing fees? He’s trespassing his cattle to provide for his family. It’s not a crime; it’s an “act of love.”

I would think a .50cal could do a lot of damage to the tires. Yes? No?

That's an idea, we all contribute and pay his fees or at least enough to show intent and see what they do then.

Don't downplay the simple and tried-and-true Sarge. They've been used for 100 years for a reason. Not everyone has access to gunpowder, TNT, fireworks and such. Most everyone can get their hands on some kind of petroleum product, oil or soap shavings, an old glass bottle and a rag.

That’s the brake chamber that holds the spring that applies the brakes when air pressure drops below a set point. The chamber itself doesn’t hold pressure. Shooting it won’t stop the MRAP.

Well said!

It is a sad state we find ourselves where our national government is soft on Muslims, soft on our Mexican border, soft on Russia and our Defense but hard on free range cowboys.
