1. Armed groups of protesters were dealt with swiftly in the past to protect public safety.
2. Allowing this armed occupation of federal land emboldens others to do the same.
3. With the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794 as precident, armed tax protesters should be tried for treason.
4. Federal lands belong to all the people of the United States through laws passed by Congress and upheld by the courts.
