We also caught up with Mark Hammond with the Gun Owners of America. Hammond pointed out how the Biden Administration is citing the shooting in Boulder, Colorado as justification for this new push on gun control, even though the Syrian immigrant shooter was on the radar of the FBI, and even though the King Soopers in Boulder was supposed to be a gun free zone.
"Everytown for Gun Safety and other gun-control groups spent more than $1.4 million trying to defeat the measure—27 times more than the NRA spent to support it."
"Race and politics increasingly divide Americans, and selective media reporting is largely to blame. The media, not President Donald Trump, is fanning the flames of violence. The destruction and the long-term harm that is being done to heavily minority parts of our cities is their responsibility."
"It's a typical, slimy, unprincipled, political move. It's so swamp. And the worst part: Democrats will let him get away with it, so long as he kisses all the right anti-gun rings." —Dana Loesch
Senator Tester may have made an appearance at the "solo debate," but he "lost to himself." That was the reaction one commenter had on the Flathead County Republicans Facebook page.
We were talking about the gun control debate with Breitbart.com's AWR Hawkins, and he mentioned how this Democrat congressional candidate in Colorado literally got pepper sprayed- all in an effort to promote more gun control measures.
Is Governor Steve Bullock (D-MT) exploiting his nephew's death nearly two decades ago as he seeks to run as a Democrat presidential candidate in 2020? That certainly seems to be the not-so-subtle message coming from veteran reporters Sally Mauk, with Montana Public Radio, and longtime capitol correspondent Chuck Johnson.
Bullock's op-ed advocating for more gun control measures like a bump stock ban, more limits on magazines, and advocating for universal background checks was featured nationally in the USA Today.
