The Missoula City Council last night received a proposed ordinance that will likely put the western Montana council in the crosshairs of the Montana Shooting Sports Association (MSSA) because it allegedly won’t square with state statute, according to KECI News, the local NBC affiliate.
While challenging state law on gun regulation may seem stylish and “progressive” in Seattle, Washington, it just might not be greeted with zeal anywhere outside the Missoula city limits. At issue is a desire by members of the council to require background checks on all firearms transactions that occur inside the city, ostensibly closing the so-called “gun show loophole.” |

The answer to this proposed ordinance should be proposed legislation to make it personally VERY expensive to violate preemption. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
[The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
