Stop with the facts and figures, stop quoting laws, regulation or Ronald Reagan’s executive orders.

We are dealing with a gut-level issue: namely that lots of people hate the Federal government, especially in its acronymic manifestations: IRS, CIA, NSA, ATF, OSHA, EPA, and BLM.

The wingnuts now have a poster child in Bundy, the BLM was wise to back down and avoid giving them a few stone-dead martyrs to rally around.

I am afraid that if we are faced with a real crisis (natural, man-made or a combination of both) and the government is compelled to declare martial law and send in armed troops/agents, then this little kerfuffle will turn out to have been tame in comparison. these over-weaponized goombahs are ready to turn vast areas of the US into Somalia in the name of Soverereign Citizenship.
