"When they are seizing federal land and property? The arms are the difference between trespassing and seditious conspiracy"
Not unless they are used in an illegal manner..
There's no 'legal' manner to use arms to seize government property and land.
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy
Its that last part you'll want to take a look at. When they took federal property by armed force, they crossed a line.
