I say the government should sell it. Put a single 4 sale sign up with a price of 19 trillion dollars. If it sells, our country is debt free. If it doesn't sell, oh well.

edit.. All joking aside because this entire thing is one big joke.
Say, the government decides to sell off the land. Who determines who they sell it to? You joke about the Chinese, but what happens (hypothetically) if a foreign entity comes up with the cash and they buy all the land. Then they tell all the ranchers to go pound sand.
These ranchers think the government should just give them the land. Well, why not give me some of the land... or give you some of the land. Why should these ranchers be entitled to it?

@BuzzFeedNews Sheriff to Militia: "The Hammonds have turned themselves in. It is time for you to leave...end this peacefully."
Soooo? Should we all just go take up lodging in some federal building, then after a few days the Sheriff will just nicely ask us to please go home?
That would make for some interesting new sort of vacation! Beautiful Monticello here I come to bed down in Thomas Jefferson's plantation just in time for cherry blossom season!
Or is it just 'okay' if I pick some boring, out of the way place in the winter?

I like the BLM. That way we're all entitled to it.
100s of black people without guns take to the streets and the government calls in reinforcements like the National Guard, has armed cavalry stationed at intersections, even rolls out the MRAPs, and gets the jacked up ex-military units ready to rumble.
100s of white people with visible firearms threaten the government and take over part of the governmental buildings and the government sits back and twiddles their thumbs.
Yeah, this ranching issue may not be about race, but it surely is about race.

Except it's not. It's about a bunch of idiots feeling special because of their boom sticks. If you took away their guns (which I'm not suggesting) they'd be laughed out of the place. Essentially the Govt. did just that. Said, yeah, you're very serious, taking over an empty building in winter. Don't give them the validation that they think they're entitled to. Lo and behold, the situation seems to be resolved.
