But fearing a gun battle, the government backed down. Until now. The federal government slapped the rancher with a 6-count complaint. Charges ranging from conspiracy to assault on a federal officer.

"If them being in jail will make the American people wake up and realize their rights, and what they need to do to secure their rights, then we're willing to make that sacrifice," said Briana.
