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.

However, today the BLM said it would not enforce a court order to remove the cattle and was pulling out of the area.
According to the article they were acting on a court order...

If you keep refusing to pay your taxes, the government will come seize your property too at some point.

Btw isn't it common in the US to have signs: Trespassers will be shot. His cattle is basically tresspassing.
