Nah, it wasn't, much more to it than that. But the Bundies and their ilk were the worst people to "represent" it.



Yes, you're right that the arson case was the result of issues with the BLM. The Hammonds were let off with a light sentence, but the appeals court nullified that sentence and re-sentenced them to 5 years in prison to begin in January 2016. The Bundys caught wind and blew the whole thing up for their own gain.

BLM had been buying private land up and the Hammond Ranch was one which refused to sell. The FedGov used less than honorable tactics to attempt to gain the property.

The problem here, is that the Hammonds were probably guilty of the charges, but the FedGov can't be held to the same standard.
