You're right. The Bundys are lawless domestic terrorists. These people don't sound like terrorists.

"Terrorist" has taken on a LOT of different meanings. What do you see as terroristic in Bundy's actions that is missing from the actions of these squatters?
It's an incredibly similar case...
It's shocking to me that you say this. What was their action that you claim to be an act of terrorism?
The armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is a pretty clear-cut example.
That isn't an example of domestic terrorism, though.
You might want to open up a dictionary and look up the definition of “terrorism” again.

Just doing something illegal with guns doesn’t quite qualify.
