The Oklahoma Militia, which stands at about 50,000 strong, has some very straight-forward words for the Bureau of Land Management and the Feds:
“It’s up to the Feds, the ball is in their court. You can do this legally, or if you want to try to do a land grab violently you can do that. We are going to resist you,” says Scott Shaw of the Oklahoma Militia.
“Just look around the country. They are doing it everywhere. The only thing to stop them is ‘We The People'”, he added.
The recent Cliven Bundy situation, which brought many militia from all over the country to Nevada in a stand-off with the BLM, could very well be the looked back historically as the beginning of the 2nd American Revolution.
OKLAHOMA CITY – A land dispute in Nevada between rancher Cliven Bundy and the federal government began decades ago.
The Bureau of Land Management says Bundy was allowing his cattle to graze illegally, which triggered a round-up of about 400 head of cattle last week.
Bundy claims his family’s cattle have grazed on the land since 1870 without interference from the government.
However, the Bureau of Land Management says Bundy hadn’t paid his grazing fees since 1993.
Over time, officials say those fees have amounted to more than $1 million.
As authorities herded the cattle, a standoff was sparked with members of the militia.
Organizers with the Oklahoma Militia say they have members in Nevada who claim Bundy’s cattle were unlawfully herded by the bureau.
The Oklahoma Militia says it is made up of nearly 50,000 volunteers.
Members say they are taking Bundy’s side and fear this practice could spread to the Sooner State.
Scott Shaw said, “Evidently in America we don’t actually own the property anymore, if you ever did.”
Shaw says Oklahoma Militia members are ready to take up arms against the federal government if needed.
He said, “It’s up to the feds, the balls in their court! You can do this legally or if you want to try to do a land grab violently, you can do that. We’re going to resist you!”
Shaw says the militia has not had to defend Oklahoma from the government yet but members are becoming concerned.
Shaw said, “Just look around the country, they are doing it everywhere. If they can do it in Nevada, they can do it in Colorado, Texas. I mean, what’s to stop them from coming to Oklahoma? The only thing to stop them is ‘We the People.”
However, not everyone agrees.
Sen. Jim Inhofe said, “You’ve got a bunch of people there trying to take the law into their own hands and they shouldn’t be doing that. And the Bureau of Land Management is not government-owned, it’s publicly owned. There’s a big difference there. I blame both sides.”
The Bureau of Land Management released the cattle after confiscating them.
Thomas race has nothing to do with this u dumb ass… Should’ve known a black man had to throw the race card in there, that’s the only thing u got to use… Your a $#%&!@*ing moron, even if Obama was white- red- or Mexican ..

When the goons come in with their MRAPS and heavy weaponry, your only chance of winning would be a smart guerrila resistance. Open confrontation would be suicidal!
WE THE PEOPLE , sick of this BS coming from government, standing up for our rights
they just keep taking freedom from us. these outlaw agencys need to be disbanned, IRS,LMB, EPA, HOMELAND SECURITY, THEY JUST EAT OUR RIGHTS UP. CONGRESS IS DOING NOTHING.
You know what. Win or lose I respect these guys. Comparing them to George Washington and the founding fathers that taught in the american revolution might be a stretch. But like them their government as acting in away they do not approve of and like them have the courage openly oppose them. What I would like to see is no matter what, they stand by their words to the end.
Stand your ground,”WE THE PEOPLE”. Good show Oklahoma!!
Nancy Christoforo Cuseo…You are lost! You are a prime example of this brain washed system! Bush committed the ultimate act of treason with the 9/11 scandal…explain that to the people who’s loved ones were lost when the towers came crumbling down. I’ll say this again…I don’t support no person in politics period! Add a matter of fact I don’t even support this government, how can you trust a party that is bold enough to kill one, my mistake, two of its own? Explain the Kennedy assassination? Explain Lincoln’s assassination. You are incredibly stupid if your faith lies in this government!!! Saying that-if the government decided to seize all of your assets, then you deserve it! Me personally will not go out without a fight! I don’t think like a democrat…I don’t beg for hand outs…I don’t think like a selfish republican that takes from the people just for their self gratification. I don’t support no political party what so ever. I stand firm on my ideals ands beliefs…by the way ma’am, I’m very educated which is why I’m checking your lame liberal ass! It doesn’t matter what you or anyone in this forum have to say about me, I could care less! Here’s something for you to think on lady…You have all of these armed militia groups in the country chanting anti government $#%&!@*, but what did the feds do to disarm these groups? According to America, they are considered terrorist…correct? So how about this–there was once a group of black militias known as the black panther party…America did everything in its power to disband that group when all we were doing was fighting for racial equality and lobbying against police brutality. America saw that as a threat just because we want equality. So you tell me what really twisted….and let me say this so you won’t label me…I’m not a racist, I myself dislike racists and racism. You need to go spend some time in the library instead of watching the bull***t and lies you’ll see on tv..that way you can get your facts straight
