Such inaction was likely to have consequences, predicted a July 2014 report by the Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

The militants' belief that the standoff "was a defining victory over government oppression is galvanzing some individuals," the report said, linking several criminal acts -- including the murder of two Las Vegas police officers -- to those who helped at Bunkerville.

The report warned more violence and armed standoffs were likely -- especially against government officials and law enforcement.

"At end of day, the Bundys walked away with essentially a victory," said Eric Herzik, professor and chair of the University of Nevada-Reno's Political Science Department who closely followed the events in 2014.

"The Bundys, in particular," he said, "feel they're above the law,"

Cliven Bundy reclaimed the cattle at the center of the standoff. He continues to run them on federal land. He hasn't paid the $1 million in grazing fees that a judge has ordered him to pay to the Bureau of Land Management.

And last April, on the anniversary of the standoff, the Bundys held a weekend-long party at the Bunkerville ranch.
