In all of our polls so far asking specifically whether Montana voters support or oppose universal background checks for gun sales including private sales, a strong majority so far oppose them. In this NPR article Jon supports universal background checks requiring universal gun registration. In spite of countless mainstream media polls that Senator Jon Tester claims a majority support them it is clearly nonsense and untrue for Montana. How can he support them? Is he willfully ignorant of the wishes of the people he claims to support? View results or take the polls yourself below and share.
Do You Support or Oppose Universal Background Checks For All Gun Sales?
When voters realize that the only way to enforce such a tyrannical law would be to require universal firearms registration that support number goes even farther down.

By what measure are you concluding that it's the "number one combat handgun of choice"? That was probably true as recently as 5 or 10 years ago, depending upon how you define"combat", but I seriously doubt that it's true now. Maybe. No one in the military or police forces chooses it. It's forced on them by their agency, who take the lowest bid that meet the criteria, which Glock is great at doing... Undercutting competitors on price point with large contracts, while "just" being adequate. So that leaves people who "choose" it for "combat". I guess we have to define combat before going any further. Inertia is an extraordinarily strong force, and that's what kept them going strong (along with said undercutting, clever marketing, and 10mm chamberings for us centimeter cult) in the '00s and '10s, in spite of their utter failure to innovate and stay relevant, crap ergos, and crap parts (mags, mag releases, guide rods, and sights). But they've been out-innovated by nearly every pistol maker on the planet by now, down to and including Bersa and Taurus, and inertia will only go so far. Yes, inertia will drive sales for awhile yet still, but I doubt that the percentage of serious knowledgeable gunnies who now, today, choose it, is pretty miniscule, and I would doubt a plurality among these "serious" folks. Every single major maker has a pistol that's better in every way EXCEPT aftermarket parts, which is driven solely by said inertia. And all but HK and a couple others do it at a lower price. I had a bunch of them in the late 99s, but ever since the '04 - '06 time frame, it's become unfathomable to me why anyone would get one, other than "I gots to have my 10mm!" before everyone and their dog came out with a 10 between 2015-2022.
Most "serious" handgun nets these days choose a 2011 (Staccato, Bul, custom, Prodigy, etc), or a CZ shadow, or Tanfoglio Witness series, or PDP, or Canik, or Echelon, or M&P, or Sig, or XD elite, or something else. Yeah a lot still choose Glocks I suppose, but it's a tiny number compared to 15-20 years ago.
