That’s the point. What business do the feds have owning so much land that isn’t needed to be protected like a national park? They should sell it off voluntarily or by Congressional legislation. IMO, Nevada has a right to its land without some compelling reason otherwise.
As long as the federal government keeps the land within her borders locked up and out of control by her own citizens, I don’t see how Nevada is even legally a state within the union. It’s been a century and a half since statehood. There’s no reason whatsoever to have the feds ruling over Nevada’s land. Or the land in any other of the western states. That’s not the way it was done in the other states.
Only Congress can allow it to be sold...and there is no reason at all why Congress shouldn't do so. I'd like to see Ted Cruz author a bill requiring Congress to sell all federal land not being used for specific purposes like military bases, parks, interstate highways, etc.
I see this federal land grab as a way to abolish the 10th Amendment which gives power to the states. I have to bite my tongue or I’ll get banned from FR for the way I feel about this regime and the RINOs currently in office.
