As you’ve been told, 85% of a State exceeds the “fort/dockyard/post office” limit in Art 1 Sec 8 sub 7/17.
Not arguing for any particular percentage other then less than 20% but the point is Art 1 Section 8 does not put a percentage limit.
Lake Mead National Recreation Area includes Lake Mead and Hoover dam. These are about 5 miles from the edge of the 600,000 acres in question.
While I’m generally sympathetic to their cause, standing up to the .gov in a straight-up ‘battle’ is little more than a loud symbolic suicide. If they’re determined to go that route, they would be well served to read up on insurgency efforts.

What’s it all about, Alphie?
He says they won’t fire unless fired upon. If Reid was to show up it would be very difficult not to change the ROE.

Bump!
All those agents, officers, public officials have the blood of lil children and woman on their hands from Waco/Ruby Ridge.
We should never allow this to happen again...never.
I like that...needs to be repeated.
NO government at gunpoint!
But the Natives were docile naturalists, you see. Not warlike at all. /s
Are you still banging that drum? Get over it already. This had nothing to do with Hoover Dam and everything to do with Harry Reid’s Bunkerville LLC buying up all the land in that area with the exception of this one piece with this one lone rancher standing in his way. For crying out loud... go away.
Correction... Reid Bunkerville LLC didn’t buy up all the land around Bunkerville. They seized it. With the help of the BLM.
Could be a vague reference to a Barrett M95 type rifles.
You should then consider semi-automatic reaction.
F’ Beck and Vannity. I am so done with both of them Vannity couldn’t wait to throw Bundy under the bus.
******************************
Agree! I thought it was dispicable that O’Reilly and Hannity both jumped out there and said that Bundy’s comments were, essentially, ‘racial’.
They never mentioned the context of the comments, but referring to the PC ‘incorrect’ use of the word Negro.
I expected as much from O’Reilly, but Hannity REALLY disappointed me.
Bundy was just trying to communicate that in recent decades the overreaching Federal welfare system has ruined the family life of the blacks by making them so dependent on government handouts. ...In general, they no longer have father/mother/kids family units. Most pregnancies are to unweds, 70% are aborted, very high % never graduate HS, high % can’t get jobs, etc. .......He (Bundy) was comparing the present day blacks to the black families that were slaves in the past, where they were able to live as families, raise kids; were fed, housed and clothed by their owners and generally led happier lives together.
It was only a minority of slave owners who were cruel to their slaves. The slaves were valuable to most owners, as the women and girls usually worked in the house as cooks, nannies and maids, while their men and older boys worked the farms.
I expect some flack for this posting, but I’ve done genealogy and history research and read some old documents via Ancestry, libraries, etc.
Finally... Most of the media has failed to mention that many well known blacks have publically stated that what Bundy said was correct and that it was not racist. ...It’s sickening to see how Political Correctness has impermeated journalism and the public in general.
...no State shall be deprived of territory for the benefit of the United States.”

Good posting, B4R!
I'm pretty sure they never thought the gubbamint would come with tanks, but if they did...what could they have done?
It came from that Nevada Assembly critter that the CNN weenie tried to back down. She tore him a new one and apparently coined it.
