The same
militias that prevented the Bureau of Land Management from rounding up
cattle at Cliven Bundy's ranch in Nevada could take action against
federal agents all across the Western United States, according to the
head of a gun advocacy group.
Gun Owners of America director
Larry Pratt made the comments over the weekend while interviewing former
Sheriff Richard Mack, the founder of the posse group called the
Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association.
Pratt
said the federal government had "really embarrassed themselves" during
the armed standoff between BLM agents and militia members in Nevada.
"Hopefully,
they are not going to be able to recover from this, because if there is
anything at all similar, be it cows or a mine or cutting trees or
anything of that sort where, typically in the West, those are the kind
of situations where the feds think they got it all," he said. "It is
time that, hopefully Bundy is going to be the encouragement - or maybe
from the feds view the match in the gasoline - that redirects the way
the federal government has been handling its unauthorized,
unconstitutional, very poor stewardship of so much of the West."
