these militia groups, groups of this kind, when they come into the public way armed and want to showhat they are armed, is that symbolism? or do people end up sometimes getting shot? >> hi, ray. well, i think it's a combination of things. i think it's partly political theater on their part, and partly an idealogical tennant of theirs. they think it is part of their political philosophy, a right-wing decentralized political policy, and individual sillianss-- civilians who have weapons are going to be part of the new government they would like to set up in the country. >> is it an outgrowth that they have been oppressed as citizens? the federal government has been overbearing, unresponsive, really used its extensive power to push them around? >> they certainly believe it. they believe -- it's hard to say because we don't know exactly who is in the building or what their specific idealogical views are, but watching the people that organized the march in oregon, they probably believe we live under a tyrannical socialist government and they are taking the rights away from individuals espe

immediately, not just cliven bundy declared victory, but the entire militia group, militia movement, rather, declared victory. one militiamen who is very well-known known said, "courage is contagious." and it really energized the militia movement and that is what was responsible for the big increase that you referred to, 37% increase. amy: so talk about cliven nevada sons moving from to eastern oregon. men ore are two young the apple didn't fall very far from the tree. they seem to be cut from the same cloth as their father. they are true zealots, true fanatics. ammon is talking about being on the mission from god. i think they are enjoying their newfound celebrity. this is not the first time they have ventured across state lines in an effort to supposedly come to the aid of others. they were involved or people connected with them were involved in another incident in oregon at a mine were federal regulators were attempting to impose additional restrictions. people connected with the bundy's have been to the mexican border to stop so-called illegal immigration. and really, ammon bundy

tensions on the rise in burns, oregon today as 'more' protesters with militia groups arrive ... putting themselves between law enforcement and the armed protesters occupying a wildlife refuge. they're citing control of the land and a wide range of allegations against various government agencies in connection with local ranches.members of such militia groups as pacific patriot network and the idaho chapter of three percent patriots have also arrived in oregon to create what chapter described as a "security buffer" between law enforcement and the protestors. we're gonna start working on negotiating and openign up ... .. as well as up here at the refuge refuge though protest leaders such as members of the bundy family have voiced the desire for de- escalation, many protestors maintain that it is the federal government and not the protestors that should be under scrutiny. a tornado made a family 'homeless' ... but now a good samaritan has opened his 'mansion' to them! them!amber jenkins, her mom, and her aid dog lost almost everything when a tornado struck their home in garland, tex

it's important to note that even members of the militia groups around the country, a lot of them seem to be distancing themselves. they're not quite sure that this is the right way to go, to go in and take over a federal building. so the fbi and other groups -- other law enforcement agencies seem to be trying to lower the temperature. they're not rushing in there. the atf, the fbi, the martial service all arms of the justice department would normally be expected to go in there and restore order. at this point, they're sort of holding back, waiting for the local authorities to give them a chance to see if they can resolve the situation. it also brings to mind a little bit of a broader problem that the fbi and federal law enforcement has had with some of these groups. if you remember the standoff at the bundy ranch last year, in that case, a rancher basically was standing up to the federal government which wanted to perhaps detain him for refusing to pay fees, grazing fees. in that case, the federal government backed down, and that has only emboldened these militia groups because they b
