PORTLAND — The
leader of a 41-day standoff at
a national wildlife refuge in
Oregon testiied Wednesday
that he orchestrated the take-
over to take “a hard stand”
against the federal govern-
ment’s control of public lands
and said the occupiers would
not be successful unless they
carried guns.
Ammon Bundy’s two
days of testimony have taken
jurors from his family’s
high-proile 2014 standoff
with federal agents in Nevada
to this winter’s occupation of
Malheur National Wildlife
Refuge, revealing the connec-
tions between the two. Bundy
asserted the Nevada standoff
triggered the activism that led
him to Oregon.
Though U.S. District Judge
Anna Brown has tried to keep
jurors focused on the criminal
charges, the charismatic
Bundy has repeatedly tried to
use the platform to amplify his
message that Western states
must win more control over
vast federal land holdings.
Bundy, 41, is among seven
people accused of conspiring
to impede federal workers
from doing their jobs at the
refuge during the occupation
that lasted nearly six weeks.
Four of the seven, including
Bundy, are also charged with
possessing a gun in a federal
facility. If convicted, they face
years in prison.
Bundy said he did not
conspire with anyone in the
weeks prior to the Jan. 2
occupation. That morning, he
met a group at a restaurant
30 miles from the refuge and
suggested they take it over
during a rally supporting two
ranchers set to return to prison
for arson.
“I proposed to them that
we go into the refuge, and we
basically take possession of it,
and we give these lands back
to the people,” Bundy said.
He said he wasn’t armed on
the refuge but acknowledged
telling others to carry guns.
Otherwise, the occupation had
no chance of success, he said.
“Without the guns, they
would have come out in a
paddy wagon and put us in
zip-tie handcuffs,” Bundy
said of authorities. “We would
never have been able to tell
people why we were there.”
Bundy testiied that inter-
fering with federal workers
was never a consideration.
He wanted to generate media
coverage of the treatment
of Dwight and Steven
Hammond,
father-and-son
ranchers convicted of setting
ire to public land, and his
belief that the U.S. Constitu-
tion gives the federal govern-
ment very limited right to own
land within a state.
“This issue is the issue,”
Bundy told the judge when
she tried to limit his testimony
about the Constitution. “This
is why we went onto the
refuge and did what we did.”
Bundy maintains he tried
legally to keep the Hammonds
out of prison before deciding
he had no choice but to take
what he repeatedly called a
“hard stand.”
Prosecutors contend the
conspiracy began two months
before the occupation, when
Bundy met an Oregon sheriff
on Nov. 5 to discuss the plight
of the Hammonds. Bundy
said that was not true.

He testiied that a police
oficial helped ease tensions
during a 2014 standoff with
federal agents at his father,
Cliven Bundy’s Nevada
ranch. The federal agents tried
to round up the elder Bundy’s
cattle but backed off as they
faced a large armed group.
A video played for jurors
showed the police oficial
appearing to broker the deal
that allowed Cliven Bundy’s
cattle to go free.
Ammon Bundy said that
oficial protected his family,
and he igured Harney County
Sheriff Dave Ward in Oregon
would do the same for the
Hammonds. But he said the
discussion with Ward got
no results, and neither did
his efforts to contact elected
oficials.
Bundy also discussed how
his religious faith played a
role in his decision to help the
ranchers. The judge, however,
stopped him from reading
Scripture on the stand.
After the jury left for its
lunch break, Bundy co-defen-
dant Neil Wampler stood to
applaud, saying, “We all love
you Ammon. Thank you so
much for what you’re doing.”
Bundy will take the stand
again Thursday.
In the article “Mega-dairy up for further review” in Wednesday’s East Oregonian, Ivan
Maluski, policy director for Friends of Family Farms, was incorrectly quoted. The correct
quote is “Small farms have been the backbone of Oregon’s economy for several genera-
tions.” The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

Washington
Three dead in
considers taxes for Beaverton shooting
BEAVERTON (AP) —
Oregon shoppers
BEND (AP) —
Washington state voters
are considering ending
the sales tax exemption
their neighbors in Oregon
currently enjoy.
The Bulletin reports
that the Washington initia-
tive would get rid of the
tax exemption that allows
residents from states
without sales tax, such as
Oregon, to skirt paying
one in Washington.
If the measure passes
in November, Oregon
residents will go from
paying no sales taxes on
common retail goods in
Washington to paying a
combined 8.89 percent for
state and local sales taxes.
Big purchases such as
cars and boats would still
be tax free.
The proposal aims to
set up publicly funded
elections for the state.
The proposed change
would also affect resi-
dents of Montana, New
Hampshire, Delaware,
Alaska and Canadian
provinces.
Two young children and
their 36-year-old father died
Wednesday in an apparent
homicide-suicide at an
apartment complex near
Portland, authorities said.
Beaverton police
spokesman Mike Rowe
told The Associated Press
that oficers responded to
the apartment around 4:30
p.m. after a female relative
called saying three people
were possibly dead inside.
When police oficers
entered the apartment, they
initially thought, based on
substantial gunshot wounds,
that all three people were
dead, Rowe said.
As they backed out of
the apartment to preserve
evidence and the crime
scene, however, Rowe
said they heard rustling
inside and then a single
gunshot.
A tactical negotiation
team called to the scene
then entered the unit and
conirmed all three people
inside were deceased.
Rowe said the children
killed were an 8-year-old
girl and a 6-year-old boy.
