While there are a number of arguments that are used by gun control
advocates, one of the most common is that individuals do not need
high-powered firearms because they will not stand a chance in a war
against the federal government. However, four years ago, a group of
armed men and women did come together to form a militia, as referenced
in the Second Amendment, and they successfully stood up to the
government agencies that were infringing upon their rights.
On April 5, 2014, an ongoing land dispute between
cattle rancher Cliven Bundy and the United States Bureau of Land
Management hit its peak when the agency and federal law enforcement
began seizing cattle owned by Bundy that they claimed were trespassing
on “federally-owned” land.
The dispute first began in 1993 when Bundy refused to pay for a
cattle grazing permit to use the land near his ranch in Clark County,
Nevada, after the BLM claimed
that he must reduce the side of his herd to 150 and that the size of
land where his cattle were allowed to graze would be severely
restricted. Bundy argued that the federal government does not have the
authority to own large amounts of land, which launched a legal battle
that continued for the next two decades.
