I'll ask again.
And even if, What "costs" does the BLM have for a bunch of scrub desert?
And why did they go far above what was the previously "reasonable" amount that Bundy had been paying before?
And why did we go from 53 families paying grazing fees in that area to just 1 ? That shows utter mismanagement. Instead of profit center, generatin revenue, it's now a cost center, that you, me, and everyone has to pay for the stand-off.
Because the .gov forced them out and off the land.
You want to say the .gov knows best how to manage the land. What utter and complete statist bullshit. The absolute worst uses and squandering of land came in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Look at China now. Those areas are ecological disaster areas. Look at land managed by our fed.gov. Practically every Military installation is a Super Fund site. The .gov knows how to manage land. Sure and they can cure poverty, lack of health insurance and heartbreak of psoriasis.
You can dance all around "the laws" and other bullshit Charby, but the simple fact is they said "Sure you can get a Concealed Carry Permit, but it's $20,000 per year, and you have to have your CLEO sign-off, plus explain why you need it, then there's a 180 waiting period, if you're approved."
