Bundy’s claim looses it validity when you examine the Nevada state constitution and realize that their state constitution specifically releases any rights to the land and recognizes the US Government as retaining ownership over the land.
See my 114! No State East of the Rockies has more than 5% of their public lands in Federal Control. The twelve western States have anywhere from fifty percent to 90% in Federal hands. How would you like to run a State Government when most of your resources are tied up in Federal Control and unusable, non-taxable, and useless. Not only that but your citizens are paying the Fed to maintain them such as the maintenance is.
... and this changes the state constitution of Nevada ... how?
