I remember that stand off, I was watching various news outlets and I distinctly remember many guys were sporting Barrett .50 rifles with enormous scopes.

It was kind of stupid on his part, because they actually tried stealing federal land in Malhuer. I applauded the cattle ranch stand down, just not the occupation of MNP.
It was worse than that. By the time they realized they had a real fight on their hands they were down low in a dry river bed and the patriots were up on a bridge above them behind concrete. There was only maybe 20 people with guns up top but they had tons of hard cover to fire from. If they had turned into a shootout the feds were toast. All they had for cover were vehicles, SUVs mostly. No armor or bearcats etc. Cars are actually shitty cover.

I never figured out the logic of that but I reckon decades of harassment threats intimidation and everything they went thru can cloud the mind a bit.
