There is no scenario where they 'take' from the Federal Government.  Their only option is going a legal, peaceful route, where the land rights are transferred to the State. Otherwise, they'll simply get 'dealt' with.

 they take the land by force or legal means it does not matter. I never stated how they would, but I meant legally. that is why they had a multi state meeting about it, to plan how to legally take the land back. But failing that, I would be fine with them defending (like Bundy did) or retaking their land by force. States still have rights, and I would love for state vs feds rights to come to a head and for the feds to back down (as they should)

Yeah, that'll work out really well for them, I'm sure.  Part of me would absolutely LOVE to see them try.  The part who loves seeing Darwin Awards handed out to people who die for being idiots, that is.

Its like you didnt even read the thread. Bundy (a rancher, not even of the state, with his militia allys) was able to put the feds back. I think a state would just fine. You have to remeber, the US government cant start shooting at Utahs populace with out reprocussions elseware. So they have to ask themselves, is it worth a potential greater uprising and loss of life to take control of the land or to relinquish it. With how easy it is for info to travel on the net it would be hard pressed for the US government to ever justify it.
