At the heart of the problem is the feds claiming land inside of established states, which is a flagrant violation of state sovereignty. I mean, it is kind of an absurdity that they claim ownership over 85% of Nevada.

Explain both of these points.

 The recent Bundy Ranch story covers both of these points. I'm pretty sure that's what he's referring to.

Somethings wrong when a county commissioner is threatening someone with death because they refuse to give up the land they've owned for decades, because of a recently passed law. In this country, no less...

The ranchers don't own the land and the law was passed in 1940.

The ranchers recognizes that they should pay the fees, but they just don't want to give them to the feds.

BLM acted irresponsibly by showing force instead of using the most efficient force of all. The court.

Eh not really.  

They were willing to pay the fee's.  It's just the BLM limited the amount of cattle they could pay fees for at such a small level it made being a rancher impossible.

 

It's like back when it was illegal to ban drugs, so they made the drug stamp act, then refused to issue the stamps to anybody.

It was TECHNICALLY legal to pay for the stamp and be a drug user/seller but the restrictions were as such so that you'd have to spend way too much time and money to even be able to be considered for a stamp.

Effectivly making it illegal.
