The Bundy's are back in the news

Is there any truth that the BLM wants to take the Hammonds land? I've heard that bantered around by some talking heads. If they do, then there may be some justification to stand up. Again, I don't know if that's true.

I understand that there have been efforts for some time to purchase their land for addition to the refuge. I don't know that would justify what's being done by outsiders. In fact, the Hammonds have specifically disavowed any connection with or approval of what Bundy and crew are doing...

To the rescue!
 
looks like the Senior leaders of the LDS - Mormon faith are not happy with the Bundy Clan

If Ammon Bundy and other Mormons involved in taking over a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon believe their religion is backing them, they should reconsider.

Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints "strongly condemn the armed seizure of the facility," spokesman Eric Hawkins said in a news release Monday, "and are deeply troubled by the reports that those who have seized the facility suggest that they are doing so based on scriptural principles."

The release further states that "this armed occupation can in no way be justified on a scriptural basis."

Americans "are privileged to live in a nation where conflicts with government or private groups can — and should — be settled using peaceful means, according to the laws of the land."

good article though since it was written for a largely LDS audience it insinuates that Joseph Smith was murdered because he ran for President and not for the real, and much more interesting reasons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nauvoo_Expositor

That's what they keep saying. However, the Harnley County sheriff this AM said "no." Paraphrasing his remarks, he said that he personally didn't feel like anyone should be given land (contrary to the Bundy remarks of "back to the people"), but he said that many people were upset with the government for "overreaching." It doesn't look like the Bundys have a great deal of support from the general population, or, at least, not around there...

Even Wikipedia downplays it

essentially Smith kept having "revelations" that God intended for him to take additional wives. The main issue was that the pool of women he was drawing from was the wives and daughters of his followers. But what else would you expect from a convicted con man? So a few of those families got pretty upset and ended up being kicked out. The Nauvoo press was trying to get all of that out, which made Smith furious getting him to destroy their printing press to then be murdered by a mob. Great story
