I mean, “while vigourously exercising their Second Amendment rights.”
I don’t think they’re a flight risk–would they actually leave their beloved America for a more socialist country?–but I could see them (Cliven especially) holing themselves back up on the ranch with militiamen and starting the game all over again.
They don’t have to be at risk of fleeing to another country, just not showing up for their hearings. If they’ve asserted that they don’t recognize federal authority that would seem to indicate they might not.
Hereare some reasons for denial of bail:
Bolding mine.
Since they are accused of preventing federal agents from doing their duties by threatening them with weapons, it seems that bail could be denied.
Q: Now that they are all in custody, and if bail is denied, could supporters send them more gummy-dicks?
or at least until the Moon Pies and corn dogs run out.

That seems kind of senseless at this point, and I don’t think authorities would be thrilled about having the prison mail service bogged down by something like this.
These guys’ trials are gonna be some hoo-boy sick fun to watch.
Ammon(ia) and Ryan were denied bail; I think they’ll remain wonderfully consistent with the others, considering how they’re all peas in a pod (or, rather, nuts in a… nut package?). All denying the legitimacy and authority of the Federal Government, all violent, all showing they don’t have any respect for the laws and legal process of the country. A solid case for keeping them under lock and key until trial (and, hopefully, for a very long time beyond that, also).
But they could always use reading material. David Fry was pissed about people sending Obama’s Dreams of My Father. Maybe The Paiute Indians? Birds of North America?
I just hate that they can’t be broadcast live on the ol’ boob tube and the 'net. 
If they could be, I’d totally get some people together and organize watch parties. Food and beverages aplenty while we watch the nuts simmer on the big screen. 
I propose that the official noun* for a number of nuts in a single package be “A Bunker of Nuts”.
- you know, like ‘Murder’ of Crows, etc.
But will the flag have gold fringe?
Just for fun the Judge should come out in a 19th century Admiral’s dress uniform.
Extra-big, extra-long fringe, like the gold bullion on an admiral’s dress-uniform epaulets! 
Will you serve gummy dicks and Doritos?
I am in total agreement that the Bundyites should be denied bail. I was just pedantically* disagreeing that they should be considered “flight” risks.

And a powdered wig.
With gold fringes.
I vaguely remember an episode of Law and Order… Ah, Google, is there nothing you can’t do?
*Your honor, we move that charges be dismissed on the grounds that we are prisoners of war under the terms of the Geneva Convention.
What? Christie, this is a civilian criminal court. I have no authority to rule on your motion.
Your honor, that flag has fringes on it which means it is a military flag which means this court is a military tribunal. You must recognize us as prisoners of war exempt from trial. *
