It’s important to remember that the Feds own most of the weapons, including weapons of mass destruction.
Aye, Caruba!
Search “National park service land resources division listing by acreage” for a link to a pdf of the total (Not including BLM lands). I would post a link but can’t for some reason.
Just national park service lands total over 84 million acres.
Who gave the federal government the right to treat the states of the west as colonies, stripping them of their resources at the point of BLM guns? That doesn’t sound like freedom.
There’s no “back” here. It was federally owned land before statehood and it was federally owned land after statehood. Statehood didn’t transfer ownership title. And the fact is that all of that land was available to homesteaders well into the 20th Century. No one wanted it.
Yes this important. It is even more important that the states take back their tax money from DC. There is _no_ legal individual income tax. This is tax money stolen from the states and used to bribe and control them (the states). States can directly tax income, DC can’t.
For what it’s worth department.......

Federal land ownership began when the original 13 states ceded their “western” lands
(between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River) to the central
government between 1781 and 1802. Substantial land acquisition in North America
via treaties and purchases began with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and culminated
with the purchase of Alaska in 1867. In total, the federal government acquired 1.8
billion acres in North America.
1803 - Louisiana Purchase
1846 - Oregon Territory
1848 - Mexico Purchase
1853 - Gadsen Purchase
1867 - Alaska Purchase
In Canada the government owns 89% of the land. They should talk.
