Promises violent resistance to roundup
Bundy responds to the BLM’s announced intention to round up his cattle with a letter implying that he will violently resist any such efforts:
I and the preemptors of this ranch have established preemptive rights created from beneficial use of water, forage, access, improvements and other rights belonging to We the People, of Clark County, Nevada. These rights, freedoms and liberties: I will do whatever it takes to defend and/or uphold.
