I think the Feds should stay in D.C. and leave the states alone but let's not forget that the Bundy's do not own the federal land that they graze their cattle on. Bundy has not paid his grazing lease fees since 1993.

We know that the Civil War was not fought to abolish slavery but it was fought to abolish State's Rights. We know that the Fedcoats would rather destroy States than let them return to nation state status as they were before the Civil War.

I'll bet the JBT's charge everyone that they can identify with felony aggravated assault on a policeman for aiming a firearm at the JBT Cattle Thieves and send SWAT teams to arrest them (just a few at a time) at their homes in pre-dawn raids. Of course the defense to the charge is that the JBT's pointed firearms at the patriots first so it was in self defense. With thousands of dollars spent in attorney fees they could beat the rap but they will still get the ride.

The protesters could have used Tire Iron's SUL position instead of aiming at the JBT's.

Like the battles at Concord and Lexington in 1775 fighting against tyranny is an all or nothing proposition. Once it starts you can't just go back home again until it is all over. If you start fighting tyranny too soon over the wrong issue you are just a martyr.
