Awhile ago you were trying to claim the law referenced was referring to private land which it does not.

Read it again.

let's simplify it to its core.

Simply put, you may not infringe upon privately held lands to reach public land behind.


First it will be "corner crossings" which has been settled law for over 100 years. Next the communists will want to seize tracts of private land to build roads into public lands where no "corner crossing" exists.

I seem to remember some such lawsuits have already happened.


Making [bleep] up isn't putting it simply.

The law was aimed at stopping, not facilitating, what you are claiming.

§1063. Obstruction of settlement on or transit over public lands
No person, by force, threats, intimidation, or by any fencing or inclosing, or any other unlawful means, shall prevent or obstruct, or shall combine and confederate with others to prevent or obstruct, any person from peaceably entering upon or establishing a settlement or residence on any tract of public land subject to settlement or entry under the public land laws of the United States, or shall prevent or obstruct free passage or transit over or through the public lands: Provided, This section shall not be held to affect the right or title of persons, who have gone upon, improved, or occupied said lands under the land laws of the United States, claiming title thereto, in good faith.
