One of the militia groups who joined the effort to “protect” the Bundy family and their ranch from the armed Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rangers admitted they are prepared to use deadly force in self-defense in Nevada or Texas. Several militia groups have joined ranks to provide “protection” to keep the BLM from taking property from the Bundy Ranch, most of which operates on federally owned land.
Scott Shaw, co-founder of the Oklahoma Volunteer Militia says he is just an average American who goes to work every day and pays his taxes. He described his militia members as “every-day citizens ...We just have a strong conviction for freedom and liberty and upholding the Constitution. We are just here in case our court system fails us and we have to stand up to the federal government.”
In talking about the armed force of BLM rangers, Shaw described it as questionable. “If you’re there to get your money back that [Cliven Bundy] allegedly owes you, there are several ways you can do that in a court of law. You can put a lien on his property; you can put a lien on his cattle. If it truly was about getting back the back fees, why did [the BLM] take the cattle, or round the cattle up, which are the asset you’re going to sell--why would you kill several of those?” Recent reports revealed several cattle that were killed allegedly by the BLM during the standoff earlier this month.
Shaw affirmed that his militia members who deployed to Nevada were armed with a variety of military style weapons including AR-15s, AK-47s and others. They also include precision shooting firearms like deer hunting rifles and other military surplus items...

2nd Amendment is working!
on what constitutional grounds to they continue to own it?

When “law” becomes tyranny, resistance becomes duty.
Aim small, Y’all. We have your back.
reid will have blood on his hands just to get his money.
But after thinking about it some more I find it completely consistent with the words of the founders.
“In light of past worldwide atrocities committed by tyrants, though, to threaten the Second Amendment rights of ordinary American citizens is itself insanity. Those wishing to ban assault weapons fail to understand the original intent of the Second Amendment. “

Is futile.
Poking a hornet’s nest is dumb.
Poking it some more is plain stupid.
Kicking it open can be.. a really bad thing for somebody.
Let’s see. A diplomatic war with Russia, a Diplomatic war with China and insurrection at home.
1000 day’s may be too much.
Regardless of what Beck or Hannity say, fight fire with fire!
Throw tortoises at the BLM. Use a catapult and rain tortoises down on their heads. Send boxes of tortoises via FedEX to BLM forts.
No government at gunpoint!
Now you know why Obummer and his thugs want to throw out the 2nd Amendment and revised the constitution.

Our Founders would whole heatedly support this position. They rose up and fought against tyranny.
It is correct to emphasize that they will NOT fire unless fired upon. Let the people see the true tyrants -- those in government.
