Bundy Ranch Still Trying To Turn BLM Standoff Spark Into A National Fire [View all]
DYLAN SCOTT – MAY 9, 2014, 11:48 AM EDT
In the heat of his standoff last month with the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy wanted to take the movement national. While he was still a favorite of Fox News, he called on "every county sheriff in the United States" to "disarm the federal bureaucrats."
Bundy's star has since faded after he made his views on "the Negro" known. High-profile conservative supporters have abandoned him. But Bundy and his closest allies haven't given up the fight. They still seem to believe that a war is on the horizon and they are trying to rally forces to their side.
The Bundy Ranch site has become a quasi-permanent militia outpost, the Las Vegas Sun reported Thursday. Armed supporters have set up tents outside the Bundy house, and the Bundys have provided them with food. They appear to be still wary of some looming federal incursion -- even though the BLM pulled out nearly a month ago.
But at least one member has bigger ambitions. Ryan Payne told the Sun he wants to turn the ranch into a commune for Las Vegas's homeless veterans.
