Father and son, Dwight and Steven Hammond, were ordered back to jail by the feds because they decided they felt they didn’t spend enough time behind bars for their arson conviction. They want them to spend an additional 4 years after the father served 3 months and the son one year.
The Hammonds burned land in an effort to control it, to keep it from endangering their property.
It will take actions like this all over the country, ESPECIALLY in D.C., to turn this country around. Lord, please watch over our Militias.
I admire these men and women for their courage and love of liberty. I cannot be there, but will be in spirit.
Just paint a big fat red line all around it.
Burns, Oregon – – a cowboy redneck town if there ever was one. Not much forest around there.
Caused by Ammon Bundy. According to Oath Keepers, the Hammonds have asked that no armed stand-off take place and to stay away. Ammon Bundy is causing problems by not honoring the family’s request.

The Last Refuge has th best explanation I’ve seen, on the back story, so far. BLM & FWS have been terrorizing this family for decades.

From what I understand by reading various and sundry documents that give charter to our federal government, they are quite restricted in what land they may own or exercise dominion over.
D.C. itself is the biggest given, I don’t think anyone has a problem with that.
Naval ports and shipyards. OK.
Military reservations for basing, housing and training members of the armed forces. Good idea.
The National Parks… uhhh, well maybe.
That’s pretty much it.
The absolutely enormous swaths of state lands “administered” by the BLM is just a crock of shit that never should have been allowed to happen and it needs to be rectified.
Yep, all the rest of the “federally owned” land should be auctioned to US citizens only with provision that it can NEVER be owned by a non-citizen. . . not a bad idea for all land in the US actually.
Pretty unnerving when you see how much land the feds ‘own.’ 84.5% of Nevada for the tops:

Don’t the progs keep saying that the 2nd Amendment is meant for “militias” only? Well, there ya go!
Thanks for sharing that link.
In the compacts that created several western States, the federal government is actually *required* to sell off the federally managed lands.
They have never done so.
The feds will begin ‘payin’ it forward’ to the Chicoms with another EO turning over all mineral rights just before Election Day
