Some acquaintances of mine who ranch in Mormon populated areas, were pretty fired up over Bureau of Land Management overreach. They backed off supporting Bunkerville and Malheur standoffs...just because of the Bundy/Mormon connection. There may be a message in their reluctance to be involved, since they detest the BLM heartily.
With the Bundy clan claiming to be the army of Moroni, your acquaintances were wise to stay away.
