I think that having a Bundy involved changes the metrics. Cliven Bundy has bluffed the Feds for so long that he now owes $1m in unpaid grazing fees. No doubt, at least in my mind, that his Son Ammon figures that since the Feds haven't done anything meaningful to deal with his Father, they won't do anything meaningful to deal with the situation that his on-site involvement has exacerbated.
