The land in Nevada is federal land and that is why the FBI is involved, but, there should be an interest in upholding the law by the State Bureau of Investigation as well. The 5000 armed separatists in Nevada came from all over the country. There should be State Bureaus of Investigation in those citizens participating in breaking the law. They are implicated in the crime.
