The Feds control the majority of the western US.

The reason the Fed controls western lands is because it purchased it before they were states, i.e. expansion. It’s a bit of a paradox when you think about it, however, I belive that ultimately states rights should prevail under the constitution after the formation of statehood. Additionally along those lines the Fed does not have authority to grab lands from states and make them “national” parks (a la captain progressive Teddy). There should only be state parks.

In Nevada it’s over 80%.

Yes they have posted maps of it here before, it’s amazing how much of the west is fed land. It’s time to end this.
