This isn't coming from the State Legislature but from someone that has a seat in the House of Representitives. Other wise known as the Senate. IE this bill is going through the federal legislative branch. Not state. And they definitely can disarm federal agencies.
You brought up Rosa Parks and makes your post about racism in America.This isn't about race. Lets keep race out of it. And whether Bundy is a racist or not is also irrelevent to him refusing to pay the fines and him and the militia standing up to federal agents.. I used Rosa Parks as an example of civil disobediance because most people agree that her civil disobediance was justified. And I know exactly what she was doing. Which is why I used her. The fact that she was fighting against state laws is irrelevent. It doesn't matter whether its a state law or a federal law, justifiied civil disobediance can be used against both.
Now, care to address the actual content of my post instead of going off on a fit because I compared Rosa Parks's civil disobediance to Bundy's civil disobediance?
So in your minds eye someone cannot possibly support someone that is racist when the thing being supported has absolutely nothing to do with race or racism? The person that is defending the action that is unrelated to race or racism MUST be racist also? That is quite the narrow view imo. And most defintely flies in the face of reality.

There is no way you picked the Parks case by accident. You thought you were going to play this tricky little race card from up your sleeve.
I think the guy is completely full of crap. It's been proven that he lied about his family history. It's been proven he is a racist piece of crap. He's a mooch, a thief and a delusional idiot.
There's one reason to support the scumbag: to show solidarity among racists. It's the same as Truthers sticking up for each other.
The good thing is it shows us who the racists are.
I'll give you one guess as to why people inexplicably supporting a racist would compare him to Rosa.
Rosa Parks... I still can't f**king believe it!
All that it does is make your posts not worthy of even being read much less responded to.

The irony is that In the Parks case where she defied unconstitutional STATE laws, the FEDS prevailed ... and that illustrates how stupidly anti American this argument for Bundy really is.
How is it that the solution the republicons always offer is to take money away from the poor to solve their problems and give money to the wealthy to solve theirs?
BLM doesn't help cattle ranchers??
Do you understand that the BLM charges about 10% for grazing fees on the land they manage when compared to private land owners ...And the cheap bastard refuses to pay THAT?
He wants FREE grazing so he can accrue his millions in profit faster ... and you support that?
Here ...I was not aware that he lied about his family. Could you provide me a link to that?
.
Feel free to stop. It will not make any difference to me.
Ok. Will do. I can't stop you from making stupid assertions.
I thought it was the protestors and militia that moved in on the BLM camp. At least that's what the pictures show.Yes I fully believe that they have a right to defend themselves. But there is a big difference between defending oneself and going in with guns drawn.
Well, considering what they have to deal with, a SWAT team seems warranted in some cases. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas....or Mexico.Doesn't mean that they should have that. No agency should have that ability if they make regulations unless it is the legislature of a state or the country. Too much conflict of interest. Such enforcements personnel should be seperate as it can create bias.

Have you ever read the Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey? Abbey is a real hero here. He tried to prevent the government from taking the land, too. But they never attacked or threatened people...only property. Bundy's gang has threatened to hurt people.
What they don't show is that the BLM started coming in with guns drawn before the militias were even there. At the time they moved in all they had to contend with is Bundy and his family.
Bundy was a known liar and thief. He had disobeyed court orders for 20 years. He had declared the federal government as non-existent. By all counts, the guy was a nutbag and a dangerous one. Overwhelming force was justified.
One does not confront "feds don't exist" nutbags with 38s.
I'd rather a small family be confronted with .38's than 20-30 AK-47's.(and yes, I know, those BLM agents didn't use actual AK-47's. It was just to make a point) Besides, the Police have the same weapons available to them that the BLM actually did use. Why not use the police? If the BLM used the police instead of its own little army then they wouldn't have to have their own little army. Which means less taxpayer money spent on something that is redundant and not needed.
Who would patrol the street while the department was busy dealing with a "feds don't exist" nutbag?
They need to be armed. The ridiculous display of armed anarchy this month is reason enough to support the small law enforcement division of this regulatory bureau. There is a total of 250 of them that are armed ...nationwide. It's not a huge force.Now that we have that out of our systems I still support what the guy said in the OP quote. As a regulatory agency they should not be going around toting guns.
Other police officers. At least that's how its normally done.

Would you dis-arm the National Forest Service as well?
Considering some of the nut-jobs they have to deal with, their being armed is a must IMHO.
The situation required 20-40 officers for the majority of the day. Asking a small local PD to do that is not reasonable. There would have been little to no police presence in the town for a day. The BLM having a squad or two makes these things much easier on local resources.
