WELCOME! WE'RE GLAD YOU FOUND US. PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW MONTANA GUN TRADER WORKS BEST! Please turn off all ad blocking browser plugins or extensions and allow all cookies while using this website. It will improve your experience and help pay bills. NOTE: Business owners are welcome to post within reason. It is recommended that all members post one featured ad for every four free posts or renewals to help fund this site. Please join and review posts in the Community Standards Group. I am the founder, owner, developer and admin of this made in Montana for Montanan's social network and classifieds marketplace. If you have further questions after reading this information, please ask them in comments below or send me a private message on my profile. If you are a new member logging in the very first time, you have been directed to this welcome message which will only happen once. Find this post under the COMMUNITY menu items titled BEST PRACTICES if you need it in the future. What is the best place to post to buy and sell fastest or find what I need here? Search or Post Ads in Classifieds. Click POST AD from the menu to list a public ad that any visitor to this website can see whether they are logged in or not in Classifieds. Click MANAGE ADS from the menu to edit, delete or renew existing ads you've already posted. A preview linked to your ad will automatically be generated and appear on the Community Stream attributed to you for member discussion. After you publish a new ad in Classifieds, a link preview is automatically generated and shared on the Community Stream as a new social media post attributed to you. So you don't have to remember to do it. It will appear chronologically as the freshest stream post at the top along with all other posts where members will see it and can interact on your post internally to allow for reactions and discussion. Click the drop down arrow in the upper right corner to delete your posts from the Home Stream. This DOES NOT delete your ad, only the news stream post to your ad. How do I contact others and how do people contact me about my classified ad? In your ad, there are two methods to contact you and visa versa to contact another member about their ads. One sends an email from this website, the other sends an internal private message. Emails will contain what you send. Internal messages will send them a link by email and direct them to login to view the message here. Only logged in members can see the contact methods to help keep the riffraff out. If you want non-members to see your contact info you must leave it in the ad description. Aside from Classifieds, you can also visit another members profile and click chat to send them a private message. Once your Ad is posted, share a link to your ad in your city group! Group members get notifications on site and by email! What if I ONLY want other members to see my posts? - Use the Community Stream or Groups!! If you only want other members to see your posts, you can simply post a social network post below with your photos, location and price. Any logged in member browsing the site will see your post unless unless you change your privacy preferences. They Will NOT get notifications of any kind. It will simply appear on this feed. All member posts are visible to all other members by default. When a post is made in a group, all group members receive a notification by email and on site. There are three types of Montana Gun Groups. There are open, closed and secret groups. Open Groups posts are visible to all members. Click Join in open groups and post links to your already posted classified ads! In order to engage on open group posts, you must first join that group. Click the Groups page or group title from the Home Stream to visit the group page and click Join. When a group post is made, all members receive notifications by email and on site advising them that a post has been made, as long as they haven't unsubscribed. Email subscribers and group members then get emails! Closed Groups - Only members can see News Feed posts made to closed groups. But they are visible to all members on the groups page. The group admin/creator is then required to approve new members to that group. Secret Groups - By invitation only.. Click to invite members to join your group. Go to the Groups page and join or create your own groups. Open Groups are the default. Select which type of group you want. As the group creator, you are responsible for all posts in your group. Please don't unsubscribe from your own groups! Navigation To And From Ads From The Home Stream This website will never have an "APP". This is due to several reasons starting with extensive cost and the fact that none of the platforms are private gun sale friendly. Gunbroker used to have an app and were blocked by Apple. This is a website that is both mobile and pc/mac friendly. It is designed to work with your browsers where you control the security. Ads from the home stream "open in new tab/window". This will keep your current spot on the stream. Close ads when you're done and navigate your browser tabs to get back where you were on the stream. If you visit an ad and want to see only the comments for that ad, click the button at the bottom for Comments. This takes you to the individual stream post that was made for that ad. Why aren't my ad link previews from certain categories not showing up on the home stream? This site is obviously about guns. Our home stream will always reflect that. However, we will not discriminate against items not related. Ads posted in categories such as cars and trucks don't automatically appear on the home stream as link previews UNLESS they are featured ads. They still show up on your own profile and in classifieds. Help keep this site free by featuring classifieds, donations, becoming a monthly Patron, shopping at the sponsor shop and joining the Affiliate Sales Group. Then get notifications when new sponsor sales post. Allow cookies and purchase after clicking affiliate links to help fund this site. The right to keep and bear arms of every Montanan regardless of race, color, state or nation of origin, religion, gender or political party matters at this site. This community decides what content is allowed or not by reporting it. If content contrary to any of the previous occurs, admins may take action or members can report posts or comments. Two reports for the same reason automatically UN-publishes the content. That post will then go to an administrator Que where it will be re-published or ignored. Member polls help decide community content standards. Join the Community Standards Group to see what we have so far and suggest or discuss standards at Montanaguntrader.com NOTE: You will not be making your last stand here for long if you intend on breaking the law. We'll use this site for something even if we somehow can't sell guns anymore until we vote the commies out. We're not going to let you blow it up. We will certainly be a major thorn in the sides of anti-gun opponents if we can't buy, sell and trade here. Current laws will be respected and you will be encouraged to comply with them and change them starting at the #soapbox and at then by voting at the #ballotbox. You will get banned if you violate current laws using this site. If you are aware of illegal activity and the community hasn't caught it and reported it, contact law enforcement and/or the ATF and report it here by clicking the bullet next to posts or profiles and leave a detailed report. We also ask that you report illegal activity and profiles here that you report to law enforcement so we don't get blindsided if they do contact us. We can then ban them as needed or delete their ads if we see it justified. If we don't know anything, we can't help stop them in the future. Don't ask us to, we will not report illegal activity for you. You must do it.

Tulsi Gabbard’s new stance on why we must protect The Second Amendment?

Tulsi Gabbards support for the Second Amendment historically has been questionable. Her new “Why I’m leaving the Democrat Party” podcast starting at the 15 minute mark sure sounds like she’s coming around to understanding why we fight so hard. If she had this position in the past, she certainly never shared it publicly. This makes me feel cautiously optimistic. Find a short piece of that in the video below. Whereas in the past she has supported enhanced background checks, does she still? Does she not realize that universal background check enforcement would require universal firearms registration? That same more tyrannical than ever before party she now has left would know exactly where to knock on doors if they managed to pass universal background checks. Find all of her gun control votes at https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/129306/tulsi-gabbard/37/guns.

Poll: The most important issues that I think the MSSA should tackle in the 2023 legislative session should be…

Gary from the Montana Shooting Sports Association is asking for help deciding issues to address in the upcoming legislative session. See each issue and it’s description embedded below the poll to understand each issue, then take the poll, share and comment. It is limited to seven choices to help us narrow the results better. Reply to his email or see his request quoted from a recent email below. Join MSSA NOW HERE to help fund the fight and be sure to get on his email list so you receive these updates. Also be sure to join the Politics and Alerts Group Here to tune in to these and more and get legislative alerts.

MSSA legislative agenda for the next legislative session. MSSA gets pro-gun bills through every session of the Legislature. Our wish list for the session that will begin in January of 2023 is contained in our legislative candidate questionnaire (CQ) for this election cycle. This wish list is too long and must be pared back to 3-5 items. We just don’t have the bandwidth to do a good job of ramrodding more bills than that. I need your help in pruning and prioritizing this wish list. Please study through the CQ. It is available at: https://progunleaders.org/CQ2022/Leg2022CQ.html

Please get back to me with your top five choices for bills for MSSA to push next session. Also, please list these in the order of priority you prefer, most important to least important. Just give me the question numbers (yes, I know the CQ questions are misnumbered – brain fade on my part – just use the question numbers there). Thanks for your help with this!
