... “I only want to talk to one person in each county across the United States, and here’s what I want to say: County sheriffs, disarm U.S. bureaucracy. County sheriffs, disarm U.S. bureaucrats,” Bundy said on Glenn Beck’s radio show on TheBlaze on Monday ...

“My Clark County sheriff, Doug Gillespie, didn’t finish his job,” Bundy said. “What the mandate from we the people was, Saturday was to disarm the park service and BLM. And when he didn’t do that, and his time was up, then we the people took it into our hands and had to do the sheriff’s job and the governor of Nevada’s job” ...

“All I know is … I feel like it’s evidently time to disarm this bureaucracy,” Bundy said. “They’re overpowering us with guns, and this is a prime example. They’re ruling with unlimited power over we the people, and we the people, we can’t stand it no longer. We’ve got to do something. So this seems to be sort of a mandate for we the people” ...

I usually try not to link Politico, and I hate to notice anything from Beck's show, but folk need to understand who Bundy and his supporters really are. A fun quote from the Nevada constitution can be found here

1. I (the royal) We the People think "We the People" should fucking NAPALM Bundy & his militia fuckers

those "We the People" are stealing from the rest of the We the People who pay our fucking taxes and don't try to intimidate the government by threatening armed insurrection.

And if the We the People at the BLM or the ATF or whatever could make this napalming happen at, say, 8:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, We The People would be most greatful. We the People love the smell of napalm in the morning.

6. Vaporub-man sees only one thing in this - $$$$

His schtick is obvious. Wingnuts like Bundy are just another profit-making pawn.

3. Bundy is getting more attention than he deserves

Bundy and his followers are getting more press than they deserve. Frankly, I'm tired of hearing about him. I hope this whole story fades from the public interest soon.

Some people have no business possessing a gun.
