The next showdown between the Bureau of Land Management and land owners and the militia is heating up in Oregon. Miners working in the Galice Mining District near Grants Pass have called in the Oath Keepers to intervene in a dispute with the BLM in a tense situation occurring near the one-year anniversary of the Bundy Ranch standoff that sent the BLM packing.
Sugar Pine miners have had one of the longest running operations in the U.S. Mining since the early 1870s, they have produced 10 million ounces of gold since their conception and geologists estimate they have removed only 10% of the gold from the land, making it a highly sought after terrain.

Hates the president, wants death to Americans, you’re quite the patriot there John. ISIS would love you.
I’m not sure “conservative patriots” could do anything to make themselves look any worse.
If you plan to take on the U.S. government with guns, you might as well use sticks and stones. You do know we have the most powerful weaponry ever known to mankind? It’s to protect us from terrorists who wish to do us harm, even the homegrown types.
So, I guess you would continue to do ‘nothing’? One reason America is the country it is today is that about 3% of the population of the 13 colonies stood up to Great Britian… even though they were ‘outgunned’.
At least we try to keep love in the mix. Nobody’s perfect but between love and hate, I think we’ve got most groups beat.
I wonder if the mining operation can be seen from the town road leading to the owner’s driveway, and from the driveway entrance to the the owner’s front door? Anything beyond that line of sight can’t be searched by a “flag of color” without a search warrant, issued by a judge, within that jurisdiction. I think there’s a case law on that?
300 million firearms in civilian hands…AND…how many of the military will turn and march with patriots…locked and loaded?
The BLM are the terrorists, putting that boot on the miners neck this time I’m betting bloodshed but we’ll see when the Marines (#sheepdogs) get there.
Note to the Federal Gov.;
Don’t put yourselves in this position, don’t do it. Or it’s gonna be sheepdog against sheepdog… bet on it.
Semper Fi
this is why we have the 2nd amendment…so the people can defend themselves from a tryannical government
You’re not “patriots”, you’re traitors, bullies with guns. If you have to force your ideologies on others at gunpoint, you’re no better than ISIS.
