The West was bought by and paid for by the Federal Government. (remember the Louisiana purchase thing..etc.)
Really it was not until the billionaires like Trump started buying up the land in the west and fencing it in was there a problem.
But that big money quickly buys the minds of us hicks out here, so there are the idiots like those in Oregon calling themselves Patriots but actually being nothing more lemmings.
The US bought and owns that land.
The U.S. is we the people. That land belongs to the states according to the constitution.
