Facebook blocking users for sharing meme stating they trust Kyle Rittenhouse more than Alec Baldwin with a gun

Facebook has blocked me and countless others for sharing a meme with Kyle Rittenhouse walking with his AR-15 during the Kenosha riots on the MontanaGuns.Org Facebook Page.

The meme simply states “I trust Kyle Rittenhouse with a gun more than I trust Alec Baldwin”. They claim it goes against their community standards.

Luckily we have sites like Montana Gun Trader and Firearms Friendly to share content like this without concern for being banned. Find these made in Montana websites and more ranked amongst their 40+ peers at MontanaGuns.Org.

I have completely lost track of how many times I’ve been blocked, 20+ easily.

POLL: Should Montana Implement an Electoral College Type Election System for Governor and U.S. Representatives?

With the census awarding us another Congress seat, the subject of an in-state electoral college type system comes up again.

Is it time for a change in Montana’s popular voting system for in-state elections so that rural voters in Montana are represented equally by having an elector in every county such as the locally elected Sheriff? Vote in the poll, read more, log in and share your thoughts in the comments below.

Do you Support or Oppose implementing an Electoral College system for Montana Governor and U.S. Reps?

No one disagrees that a one person, one vote rule is essential in our Constitutional Representative Republic!

But does this not seem to break down when dealing with larger populations in that rural voters are no longer represented equally because they choose not to be part of a collective like liberal Missoula or Bozeman College towns? Who almost always sway the vote near the end of every Montana election. More often than not the entire state is looking like it will turn out one way, only to be overturned after counting big city votes who by default lose common sense at the ballot box.

Popular vote in county and city elections is essential to American liberty in a Constitutional Republic. It is literally the backbone of Democracy. It is essential where people are able to shake hands, speak face to face and eye to eye. The ability to speak directly to your representatives representing you is critical. You meet them on the street and can easily speak to them directly. Town Halls actually mean something. The people in local governments are held accountable by their neighbors. Where local law enforcement is your neighbor and their patrol car is in their driveway. They literally have to keep their eyes on the ball because it might roll through their living room window. If these locally elected representatives disagree with the community, they are gone in the next election. That is how representative government is at least envisioned to work. The good news is that our state can change that at least for our own state representatives. Current reps continue getting elected because lobbyists purchase the elections. If our US state reps were elected by county electors voted in to office by us rather than popular state vote as it is now, would that not help prevent the largest populated cities to dictate all elections?

Montana has 56 counties in a variety of geographical sizes. We have elected representatives in our county elections and can meet with them and speak eye to eye on any subject we want almost anytime. That’s where one person, one vote works! Is it not fair to think that each county might have an equal say about the state representation they receive so that it is equal to the state representation that Missoula or Bozeman, or Helena receives as a collective? Or should their collective values be worth more than your county?

Who in your area is the most tuned in to your local situation? Your Sheriff for example might be someone who is the most tuned in to local news and events as well as safety and security in your location. Could your locally elected by popular vote county sheriff not be considered someone who might represent you better as an elector for in state elections and cast your county’s vote based on popular vote in your county?

Moving to firearms friendly states like Montana with kids where an estimated 60%-90% of homes have guns

Reports based on background checks for new gun purchases through FFL Holders stating the total number of firearms in Montana are most certainly wrong. It is much higher than that and we plan to keep it that way. Of the estimated 60%- 90% or more of homes with guns, the average number of firearms owned is likely around six. With some, many, many more! Do you only have one tool in your toolbox? Of course not. Guns are tools with different jobs to perform. Remember that as you drive down the street here. Nine out of ten of the homes you pass have them. Thousands and often tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition in storage is certainly not uncommon.

Gun ownership for hunting, self defense, investment collection and shooting sports are simply standard operating procedures in Montana.

It is mission critical to teach your kids about firearms safety and overall handling as early and responsibly as you can! Kids are curious, that’s all there is to it. If you have children it is highly recommended that you teach them how to handle the possibility that they will interact with firearms and even ammunition unless you plan to lock them in their room. Especially when visiting their friends at their homes!

Firearms are a tool we use to protect our families and property from predators of all types. It is also a necessary tool to help provide food for our families, as well as being a popular form of competition, recreation and collection. Guns can even be a great investment. An investment that requires considerable responsibility to own and most Montanans do just that.

Gun Logic: As soon as your child can physically pull a trigger, is it not time to teach them safe gun handling?

Procrastination in teaching your kids or securing your firearms can easily end in tragedy whether at home or at their friends. If you have kids too young to teach gun safety, be sure to use a gun vault or similar storage device for your smaller weapons and handguns next to the bed, etc. These make them secure and reasonably accessible to you. They also aren’t that expensive. Certainly cheaper than the potential consequences. Practice testing them weekly and replace batteries as needed. Rifles should be locked in a gun cabinet or secured with other types of gun locks to help keep curious little fingers away.

Montana Sheriffs Office Telephone Numbers

How do I contact my sheriff? How do I find out if a gun I want to buy from a private seller in Montana has been reported stolen or lost? How do I report a gun stolen or lost in Montana? Should I speak with an attorney before reporting a gun stolen or lost? What if I contact law enforcement and find out a gun I was planning to purchase or already purchased was reported stolen? Why might I not want to report a gun stolen? All great questions. Discuss them in the comments below.

For the record: I am NOT an attorney nor have I ever played one on TV! Seek legal counsel elsewhere. I personally check guns with the sheriff anytime I have a doubt about where they came from. Luckily very rarely and I’ve personally never had a gun stolen or requested a search on one that was reported stolen. But I certainly will report a stolen gun if it occurs to me AFTER speaking with an attorney. Mainly for insurance purposes and CYA. But also because I’d love to get it back someday if it ever shows up! Keep accurate records of serial numbers and photos of your firearms. Make sure undesirables don’t have access unless you allow it.

Montana does not require firearm owners to report the loss or theft of a firearm. And we plan to keep it that way. There is also no federal law requiring individuals to report lost or stolen firearms as of this post. Federal law does require licensed firearm dealers to report lost or stolen guns to local authorities or the U.S. Attorney General within 48 hours (18 U.S.C. 923).

Should Montana require that stolen guns are reported to law enforcement?

Call your Montana Sheriffs Office or local Police Department for verified stolen gun reports. There are private stolen gun databases and even a group at this site for Scammers, Spammers and Stolen Guns. But none of these are verifiable, whereas law enforcement is.

If you choose to request a stolen gun search using your Sheriff, find the most current Montana County Sheriff’s office contact information as of this post from the MSPOA. If you find info below out of date or incorrect, please share it in the comments or click my username below and send me a message on my profile with updated information.
