Not to criminals of course because they’ve never followed the law. But lower voter turnout by law abiding citizens is expensive. We are now going to pay for gun owners not showing up at the ballot box. Americans lost this battle on the #soapbox and at the #ballotbox. When it came to the number of pro-gun elected officials who opposed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that gave the BATFE the authority to redefine this rule AND the number of gun owners comments who opposed this new rule during the comments period, our opponents won.

Over 370,000 comments were left and more of them supported it than opposed it. According to this, the new rule takes affect May 20th, 2024. Of course Democrat Jon Tester voted for this. Luckily none of our other Montana representatives did. Find the 14 Republicans from other states who voted for this below.
