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.
Itd startin to happen nation wide, slowly
We’re allowed to bear arms & fight for families of other countries .. but not allowed to fight for our own !!! THIS IS SO “F’N ” WRONG !!! U go militia & Thank-You…
People are sick of being forced to certain rules that don’t apply to Government agencies just like Obamacare it’s unconstitutional to be forced to buy something that affects your life in a negative way to where you can not afford to pay your bills but the say have your phone turned off or your cable TV to pay for it and if you don’t we are going to fine you it’s called Tyranny!
Yay. Go terrorist.
Respect for Oklahoma and the true Americans that live there.
If the BLM is publicly owned, what are they doing trying to illegally confiscate privately owned land? Also, they killed and buried (poorly) some of the cattle. Are they going to pay for that??
Doesn’t this tell our Government anything, It shows our government is so messed up that “We the People” have to take things in our own hands in order to defend ourselves. I dare one foreign country try and invade America, Not one would make it alive back to their homeland if they even set foot on American soil. Our Government needs to wake up and get this so called Terrorist President out of office ASAP. That’s what I think of our president specially if he is funding and giving our weapons to the Arabs that want to kill us. I call that a terrorist. Letting these Muslims come in to our country and taking our rights and beliefs for Christianity away from us – HELL NO< NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY. You Go Militias - keep fighting for our rights to bare arms and our constitution of the United States. I cant even trust our very own Police departments these days either, All they do is beat ya to death and then get away with it. We need more people to stand up and fight,
WE THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED THEN SEE HOW THE FEDS STAND LIVE FREE OR DIE THATS THE AMERICAN WAY
Amen. We’re all in this together.
