"Government land" and "public owned" are the same thing. Held it
trust by the Federal Government for public use.
That does NOT mean you can do whatever you want with it because you
are part of the public, a point that many people choose to "confuse".
The Interior Department sets rules for use, including no access if
appropriate.
In this case Mr. Bundy is refusing to obey the BLM restrictions on
land use, and has refused to pay lease payments, which are REQUIRED BY
LAW in order to run cattle on the land. This has been true since
before he was there, it was never "free range" in that you could do
anything you wanted.
