I've been trying to follow that land dispute between the black-helicopter feds and the under-assault ranchers in Nevada.
AP Report in the Boston Globe
See, the rancher has not been paying grazing fees for about...oh, 20 years or so...even though he admits he does not own the land. Even if Nevada owns it, can't the state charge grazing fees?
Anyway the feds got tired of not being paid, so they went in to take the cattle he's been feeding at OUR expense. I suppose he would want to go to any federal facility or attraction and get in free.
So his friends and neighbors got together armed and threatened war.
So anything owned by the federal taxpayers is free for anyone to use, is that it?
(The rancher) Bundy, 67, doesn’t recognize federal authority on land he insists belongs to Nevada. His Mormon family has operated a ranch since the 1870s near the small town of Bunkerville and the Utah and Arizona lines.

Er, ah, not quite. Try making off with, say, a tank from a military base.
