Even if the government legitimately holds title to the land, which I don’t believe they do as the have violated the Admission Act and “Equal Footing Doctrine” on every state admitted to the Union since the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Creek in California in 1848, they are an owner in the same sense as any other owners. They don’t pay realestate taxes but they give PILT Grants to the counties (PaymentInLieuOfTaxes).Rugwell led jurors through the 1998 court order, entered as government Exhibit No. 1. It described how the United States gained title to the land in question in 1848, when Mexico ceded it to the United States. Bundy responded by saying the federal government lacked jurisdiction.
More importantly the government chooses to ignore the fact the ranchers actually own the water rights and the forage rights and have done so long before the Taylor Grazing Act.
as the Supreme Court noted in 1892 in Barden v Northern Pacific RR Co. U.S. 145 535 it was long settled in fact and in law that once rights are attached it is not ‘public land’

Also it is treason against the Constitution to send armed BLM, Park Service and Forest Service personell into a state to enforce their statutes.
Article I §8 Clause 15 gives Congress the Power . . . . To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
How Congress chooses to provide for calling forth the Militia appears to be left upt to Congress’ discretion, but this is the only place in the Constitution giving the government any law enforcement power. Those who would have you believe treaties that become the Article VI Supreme Law of the Land and give them law enforcement authority are either mistaken or lying. No treaty may trump the Constitution. The Constitution may only be amended as per Article V. Any treaty which is repugnant to the Constitution is null and void. None of the ABC agencies have any Constitutional authority to arrest anyone anywhere in the Union.
Since We The People have allowed them to take over our responsibilities we now must suffer the consquences.
Ryan Bundy understands . . . . Now he must convince the jury
