I don't understand why there is debate over this. The feds inserted themselves into this 20 or more years ago and the Bundy's clearly had enough.
That farm has been in the Bundy's family since the 1870's. No problems. Along comes the BLM and screw it up.
And we all know how the government killed off the bison so as to starve native Americans.
Now remove all the yelling, screaming and bullshit rhetoric and the facts are the Bundys have been a better steward of that land's plants and animals than the government ever has or it would not have been able to support the cattle that have been there since the 1870s.

There is not room for debate. The facts stand as they are.
Reid is a lying thief and he is using the BLM as a bully to run the Bundys off the land.
