The Latest: Bundy Says People Needed to Take a Stand
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND, Ore. — Oct 5, 2016, 7:59 PM ET
The Latest on the trial of a group of people who held an armed takeover of a national wildlife refuge in Oregon (all times local):
4:30 p.m.
Ammon Bundy finished his second day of testimony in his federal conspiracy trial, saying he led the occupation of a national wildlife refuge because people needed to take a stand against federal government overreach.
Bundy said he told occupiers to bring guns, because they would otherwise be immediately arrested. If that happened, their message would not get out.
The occupation leader from Emmett, Idaho, said he did not tell anyone about his plan to take over the refuge until the day it happened.
He testified the occupiers wanted to take control of the refuge through the concept of adverse possession and let locals decide how to use the land.
