Easily the most depressing and influential statistic that Montana gun owners ever contend with in the discussion over more gun control is related to firearms attainability in Montana and successful suicides. How do we as gun owners help justify gun ownership when so many of our friends, family members and neighbors are taken from us with the simple squeeze of a trigger and we have a lot more triggers?

It’s simple and may seem insensitive, but where there’s a will, there’s a way and that’s the way most of us grew up. We all know that someone who is determined to do something will find a way to do it. As insensitive as this may sound, suicide by firearm is common sense at work. Use the best tool for the job.

See Montana Suicide Rate At The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

How can we help? Get help if you need it and be sure your guns are inaccessible to those with suicidal tendencies and try to get them the help they need whether they have access to guns or not. They will figure out another way to get the job done. Don’t let it be with your gun!

This is exactly by design. They know that they can’t do an all out confiscation or ban, so they are coming in through the back door. Components of all types & now this. As long as we continue to allow it to happen and start holding politicians accountable and voting them either in or out we are going to continue to see this.

Yes Sir, the whole situation is a frank Sinatra kick in the head. We the people should keep doing anyway. How much more can we bend for the legalitys no matter how one might illustrate it.?Where does MGT stand Randy? If we the people Montana keeping doing anyway peacefully, hold the shows/ hold the line. Will MGT follow and still let/ promote we the people Montana do as we do on MGT currently buy, sell, trade etc...? Or will you Stand and lead the way for all to keep going, even while court battles are filing?

This is going to boil down to the level of enforcement BATFE takes. This tyrannical "rule" is so open ended they can do whatever they want with it. This site can still be used for the fight on the #soapbox #ballotbox and #jurybox - The only way this site goes down is if you all let it by stop funding it. It is capable of handling guns and ammo as well as any other online marketplace needs firearms friendly Montanans have in addition to a fully functional social network with groups. This rule has no affect on buyers and users posting wanted to buy ads or cars, trucks, etc.
