1K people expected at Bundy rally

The Cliven Bundy family is expecting more than 1,000 supporters to gather for a rally on Saturday at 9 a.m. on state Route 170, three miles off Interstate 15 to protest the Bureau of Land Management and its actions, Ammon Bundy told a news conference Friday afternoon. “We’re looking for people to unite and show their support for what we’re doing here,” Ammon Bundy said. “This is not about the Bundys. This is about Nevada. This is about the western states. This is about the eastern states that are having the same issues as us. We’re going to show the media and the people who are.” Although all the Bundys have repeatedly said they are against any violence, Ammon Bundy was vague about what might happen. “If the BLM comes by and we feel like we can stop them from gathering cattle, well, we might do that,” Ammon Bundy said. “As always, this (the rally) is an effort of peace, but peace can’t come at the cost of freedom. Ammon Bundy cautioned the crowd about carrying rifles in the area, saying “we don’t mind that you carry side arms in camp but we ask that you don’t carry rifles.”...more
