Sheriff urged to clamp down on armed militiamen around Bundy ranch
The Las Vegas Sun ^ | April 28, 2014 | Kyle Roerink

Reid Hendricks of Camden, Tenn., and Jim (no last name provided) of Las Vegas take up a position on a hill by Cliven Bundy’s ranch near Bunkerville on Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Hendricks is a former Marine (honorably discharged) and has worked as a police officer and a high school history teacher, he said.

A growing number of Bunkerville residents want to see the armed militiamen guarding rancher Cliven Bundy leave Nevada, according to a letter from Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nev., to Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie.

Horsford, whose congressional district includes Bunkerville, wrote that his constituents are concerned about Bundy supporters carrying weapons near local churches, schools and elsewhere.

Militia members flocked to Nevada to support Bundy in his fight with the government over his refusal to pay fees for his cattle to graze on federal land.

“I urge you to investigate these reports and to work with local leaders to ensure that their concerns are addressed in a manner that allows the community to move forward without incident,” Horsford wrote to Gillespie.

The letter also says militiamen have a presence on state and local roads as well as federal highways. In some areas, according to the letter, militiamen have set up checkpoints where drivers are stopped and asked to provide a proof of residency.

They’ve been seen carrying high-caliber weapons and keep a round-the-clock security detail on Bundy....

Steven Horsford was elected in 2012 for Nevada’s congressional district 4. This is a newly created district as a result of the 2010 census.
Before that Nevada only had 3 congressmen - 1 Democrat and 2 Republican.

Yeah, with Washington DC home to the wealthiest cabal of government moneygrubbers in the world, we have to look out for some grazing land in the Back of Beyond.

If you buy that, I’ve got a nice bridge in Brooklyn I’m willing to let go cheap.

What is “high caliber”? 105mm, 30mm, 20mm, 16inch? 5.56 is as low a caliber as you can get except for .17in. morons.

What is a high-caliber weapon?

I see in the photo a guy appears to be near a hilltop.

Does that make a .223 into being "high"? Or do some of the guys have .308 caliber weapons of something akin to AR platform semi-auto rifles?

How high were the people who Horsford claims wrote letters about an alleged concern about --- militiamen setting up checkpoints in "some" areas?

Do those people not have the sheriff's address or know the numbers 9-1-1?

It's real easy. Push the #9 button on a phone's number pad once, then push the #1 button twice. Using a cell phone and some other handsets one may have to then press a "send" button.

I smell possible false report about the "checkpoints". What would a "high caliber" be there? A sidearm in 10mm? Colt .45?

Where could my "calibers" get high? If I turned my back and they got high enough, then as a possible defense should any of them go off, I could then say "not my fault. the calibers got too high. Talk to them. I think they need substance abuse counseling".

I don't think "your honor, I had to use an -06, Walmart was out of .22" would work...so nevermind that strategy. Stick with the "the calibers were high" story.

The lefts anti Bundy character assassination campaign has begun. This is Joseph Goebbels style propoganda, designed to stir up the uninformed masses against Bundy.

So much for peace. This propaganda shows that will be a repeat of WACO and Ruby Rudge on the Bundy ranch.

Due process. Thats what Bundy deserves as a constitutional right. Not a shoot out and assault by a federal agency, based on the fact that he is a racist old man.

come to think of it, Sterling is pretty much in the same boat, being punished for no crime committed , by the press.He too is a racist who has not committed a crime.Old men who are racists need to die apparently, or be relegated to poverty.

Last time anyone checked, holding racist views is not a crime. Certain acts based on racial prejudice are defined as crimes by law, but holding racists views are not a crime.Thats the nature of freedom in the USA guaranteed by the Constitution.

I am glad there are thhose who will fight to maintain such freedom.One does not have to be a black supremacist like Barak Obama to be lawful, only politically correct.

Okay.

Perhaps some clever Texan MilitiaPerson has finally invented the .46 which that Texas Ranger wanted but hadn’t found?

Maybe the “good congressman” should write a letter to Obunga asking him to just give the 66,000 acres to Bundyvwith the deed and Tax Free in perpetuity as a thanks for making food for us and then leave him alone. That, too, would solve the problem and those evil men with guns will go home.

The New Democrap from HarryReiddom wants to know the color of the gun bearing person’s skin - is it a case of a minority “PriviledgedPerson”, or some dangerous ‘cracka’.

Do not forget the ex CEO of Mozilla

I have the ability to see inside a persons heart and determine if they are a bigoted or against the queers.

I am qualified to ruin a person, or a business, because of my special talent.
People/business should pay a rent to me as a shield against PC accusations.

Hey, I remember NBA players REFUSED to play for the Raptors, even in the Vince Carter days.
Those bigoted NBA players HATED the people of Toronto, and for that matter Canada.

I can get some action and return going after bigoted NBA players, starting with Alonzo Mourning!! Imagine the cash flow coming my way when these NBA player Bigots start paying their rent

Never mind the Mini-guns and cases of ammo in the blm Tractor-Trailers...

But let’s go into panic mode because a few Citizen Militia are standing guard for what We ALL know will eventually happen when the fedz come back.
