Should the Federal Government Own Nevada ?

[nodoginnafight]

"the Feds had no right to claim Nevada lands in return for Statehood...."

Since the Feds owned the land for all of us in the first place, Congress had every right to legislate land division as it did.

We are not going back to 1791.

if you squint you might see the actual state of Nevada.....the light blue and white areas....

is this really 'statehood'....?

Ask Nevada - they're the ones who wrote their constitution.

The other ranchers probably looked up the road and saw the casino's and gulf courses going up and being built up the road in Mesquite and all the surrounding land being developed for housing to take care of all the workers. They probably figured the area was turning into another Laughlin in the middle of a growing tourist destination and figured out it was time to make a change and some unexpected and opportune profits from their ranches. Bundy is the fool who is going to loose his families ranch because of his mismanagement and failure to pay his bills. Wonder how many militia members will come to his aid with cash to pay his lien.

explain why Bundy should lose (not "loose" you loser) his family ranch because Dingy Harry wanted to build some casinos....?

He will lose because he didn't adjust his business and/or know when to hold and when to fold (while surrounded by gambling casino's) or how to transform his real estate holdings.

in other words....you believe the government has the unmitigated right to take a man's property as well as his living......?

yes.....armtwisted by the feds who were granting them statehood at the time....

our U.S. Constitution does not give the feds the right to such large tracts of land that are not being used for constitutionally-given reasons....

ARMTWISTED!!!!!!!

Look, you just keep going farther and farther overboard

Let Nevada amend their constitution, then ask the rest of us if we'll give it back. And don't forget to say "pretty please."

No one is taking his property - the property doesn't belong to him.

If you're talking about the cows, yup - you get your property seized for not paying your bills. Government is not different than any other creditor in that way.

The federal government already owns most of Nevada and should move the capitol there immediately. Washington, DC is shot through with slums and black "takers" beyond the wildest nightmares of Clivden Bundy. On the plus side, Nevada is the only state with legal whorehouses. What better location for the 535 or so whores on the Congressional payroll?
