"No matter how you feel about the "laws" involved in the "confrontation" at the Bundy Ranch, the fact remains that one day a "law" that DOES matter to you will almost certainly arrive, and on that day if you have been denied your right to defend yourself (2nd Amendment) you're ability to voice your indignation (1st Amendment) about that "law" will mean exactly zero to the "authorities".....which is why the BLM believed they could corral citizens into a "1st Amendment area" in the middle of nowhere. Their contempt for your 1st Amendment Right was on display.
They did not expect that Americans would arm themselves to assure that their voices would be taken seriously.
We at Iconic Industries take the Rights protected by the US Constitution very seriously and we expect our elected and appointed government personnel to do so as well. After all the Constitution is what they take an oath to. That oath is a conditional granting of policing authority granted ONLY if they promise to live by and defend the principles and Rights in the Constitution against enemies of those principles and Rights, whether those enemies be foreign OR DOMESTIC. We don't believe that oath is ambiguous in the slightest. We have much respect for our LEO brothers who represent about 40 percent of our customers, but understand and keep your oath brothers."

We feel it's important to note that as far as recent history goes this encounter at the Bundy Ranch is the first time that a group of unaffiliated American citizens have spontaneously coalesced and stood armed against Federal government overreach forcing the Feds to back down. We have had identifiable groups and organizations and even individuals who have bombed, robbed banks, rioted and holed up in compounds i.e., the Weather Underground, Symbianese Liberation Army, Vietnam/Draft riots, Branch Davidians, Montana Freeman and LA/Rodney King etc. but we can't remember just your ordinary Americans actually exercising their power with such an effective outcome. It may be true that the Feds will eventually try to make an example out of the Bundy's and their immediate supporters but the important fact is they were forced to back down by the real masters of this country....the people themselves.
