Explaining LR-130, and why it’s important to Montana
Dear MSSA Friends,
Some Montana gun owners have asked me where they can actually read LR-130, the November ballot issue to protect our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
I’ll provide a link below to where you can read LR-130 for yourself. But first let me explain what LR-130 does and how to read it.
LR-130 is the result of House Bill 357 having been passed by the 2019 Legislature. HB 357 sets a ballot measure to amend two relevant and existing state laws. When an existing law is amended, language may be added to the law (shown as underlined words), or it can delete language from the law (shown as strikethrough words).
Two current state laws limit cities’ and counties’ authority to regulate firearms, but they are not enough limitation. One law, 7-1-111(9), M.C.A., prohibits local governments from using “any power that applies to or affects the right to keep or bear arms.” BUT, it goes on to say, “‘except that a local government has the power to regulate the carrying of concealed weapons.” LR-130 will remove this “except” clause from the law.
The other law to be amended by LR-130 is 45-8-351, M.C.A. This law generally prohibits local gun control, BUT says that for “public safety purposes” a local government may adopt and enforce gun control measures in several ways. LR-130 will dramatically shorten this list of allowed exceptions. The net effect is that local governments will still be allowed to regulate unpermitted concealed weapons (people carrying concealed illegally inside city limits) and open carry into buildings owned and occupied by governmental entities. That’s it. If LR-130 is successful, local governments will no longer have alleged loopholes to exploit as Missoula tried with its universal background check ordinance and various “gun free zones” concerning “parks” and “public assemblies.”
Knowing this much, you are now equipped to read LR-130 at:

Some local governments and anti-gun political entities in Montana will likely mount a campaign against LR-130. They may be joined by New York City billionaire Michael Bloomberg and his surrogate entities such as Demanding Moms and Illegal Mayors for Guns. In this opposition, these opponents will almost certainly make up major and scary lies about the effects of LR-130, trying to stampede low-information voters away from LR-130. One predictable lie (they’ve already floated this one) is that LR-130 will permit crazy people to go into schools and kill innocent children. Scary, huh? But, it’s a lie. There is a different, existing law (45-8-361, M.C.A.) that prohibits guns in schools, a law that will not be affected by LR-130. Even though it falls under the general “save the children” category of political argument, this lie is still stupid. How low must be the IQ of someone who believes that bad people who will ignore laws against murder will be aware of and be deterred from their intended mayhem by an obscure city ordinance.
Although the Montana Constitution has a very strong reservation of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, that reservation is useless if any city or county may concoct and enforce local gun control, creating a patchwork of gun control across the state just waiting to entrap an unwary traveler. Thus, 7-1-111 and 45-8-351, as updated by LR-130, are the actual implementation of the RKBA in the Montana Constitution. That’s why LR-130 is so important.
Please explain LR-130 to all your friends and neighbors, at your local gun club, to the staff at local gun stores, and anywhere else you can. LR-130 MUST PASS in November.
Thanks loads,

Tenuous describes an argument, claim, connection, or evidence that is extremely weak, flimsy, speculative, and lacking a sound or substantial basis. That's not a word anyone should be betting anything on, especially ones freedom and livelihood.
Clearly we all have seen, evidence, warrants, and guidance be damned, if they want to arrest someone they just do it and qualified immunity protects the racket, especially here where we are all riding the rails of the kangaroo express of the 9th circus...
There is no penalty or even a slight inconvenience for subjecting anyone in Montana to process for any of this.
Given the political degradation of default to state power rather than the authority of the citizens, there obviously never will be.
Knowing that the process is the punishment, you can certainly look forward to arrests in Montana. Once again accountability is completely absent on the official side.
Monetary punishments and fines are always the burden of the taxpayers not the official. Just a fair warning of opinion.
Services will degrade in quality and soar in costs the quickest. Ownership of things like cars, appliances, machinery, and finally hobby centric items will become increasingly enshitified and burdensome. It's a stratigized scheme to convince westerners to demand the demise of their own industries. You will demand that cars and appliances and machinery are better made but they will ignore the will of the people because they no longer care about your worthless money. This was already becoming clear when they started referring to us as consumers instead of customers and associates instead of employees.
Oh yes, you will boycott...vote with your wallet..so on and so forth. And in turn, these companies will suffer and lose profit, in turn causing layoffs and firings, in turn causing an inability to continue to conduct business at scale, in turn causing a loss to private equity shareholders, in turn causing forced bankruptcy, in turn causing you to have finally no where to buy anything , in turn causing self fulfillment of their plan. It's codified into law already. There will be no re-industrialization of the west. Offshore infrastructure is never coming back, it's not possible. All industry except militarized complexes and surveillance endeavors will collapse. Education and healthcare are already major contributions to the surveillance apparatus so I include this in the MI Complex as well.
What they have been telling us for years is now finally completely possible. They need only a small fraction of the current population to serve them and since westerners are not conducive to this plan they are replacing them with a servant class that, having been born into shit and having only ever seen suppression and strife, are already accepting of the squalor they will create out of the ashes of western civilization.
