Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul became the first 2016 GOP presidential contender to take a stand on the land battle between Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the federal government, The Hill reported.
The libertarian-leaning Paul is siding with Bundy, though he said the matter should be settled in court.
On April 14, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, weighed in on the issue. "It's not over," he told News4 in Reno. "We can't have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it's not over."
The next day, in a radio interview with WHAS in Louisville, Paul said, "I think there's an opposite thing to what Harry Reid said, and that's the federal government shouldn't violate the law, nor should we have 48 federal agencies carrying weapons and having SWAT teams," according to The Hill.

I think Harry Reid should strap on iron and ride out to the Bundy Ranch alone and settle things.
