I know that as Americans many of us have deep feelings for our lands--the national parks. monuments and wilderness areas of the west. But what happens when some Americans feel justified to take guns onto out public lands because they feel they are more "right" in their convictions that the rest of us. The Bundy family has enaged in two armed campaigns against the government and the American public-- one in Oregon in 2016 and one in Nevada in 2014. This is a presentation on conlficting points of view about these lands and the importance of speaking up to protect America's wild places.
