http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/01/oregon_standoff_jon_ritzheimer.htmlJon Ritzheimer, one of the most radical and visible militants active in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation, will likely be extradited back to Portland, according to an FBI official.
Ritzheimer, the Malheur occupier and founder of the anti-Islam apparel company Rogue Infidel, had traveled back to Arizona to be with his family when seven fellow militants were arrested and another shot and killed by law enforcement officials in Oregon.
Kurt Remus, an FBI spokesman, said federal and local law enforcement officials knew Ritzheimer was in Arizona when they called him at around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and said it was time to surrender.
"He was aware of what happened [In Oregon]," Remus said. "We didn't feel like we should go barging into his house," Remus said of the warrant for Ritzheimer's arrest, but he added that FBI officials were "in the area" just in case.

If convicted, yes, the mean old feds will come for their guns and take away their right to vote. I don't think they thought this little exercise in futility through.

He's evaded being put in the Federal Pen several times for things that he should have been, and they made an appointment with him to be "arrested."
Now what does that look like, if you look at it from a perspective of the perfect crazy to draw out other crazy people?
