It seems to me that Bundy and his followers have hijacked this unfortunate and likely unjust set of circumstances for their own cause. I would bet money that this ends like Waco. This could also be a strong political tool right before the election: "These crazies formed a private army to fight the government!" "Outlaw any organization that uses words like Militia, Liberty, Freedom, AR-15, etc." "Federal government has the power and the duty to intervene here (and everywhere)" etc.

I sure hope that this doesn't end in flames and dead bodies. It could also set several precedents very dangerous to what liberty we still have.
