While it might be better if these lands were in private hands, I was merely recognizing cold, hard reality. The USG has owned those lands since the admission of Nevada to the Union. Bundy is grazing his cattle on them. Every other rancher that uses BLM lands for grazing pays rental pursuant to a grazing lease, just like Bundy was up until 1993. Why is Bundy now supposed to be some kind of exception?
