Meet Amanda Curtis. She’s a gun control-supporting vlogger.

Curtis last summer attended a Mayors Against Illegal Guns rally, which aimed to pressure then-Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) to support expanded background checks. Curtis's brother killed himself playing Russian roulette when he was 16. "If Montana has 2.5 times the suicide rate of states with comprehensive background checks, maybe we should try that out,” she told the Montana Standard at the time. A year later, the Montana Standard wrote an article mentioning that newly christened candidate Curtis had attended the rally. She told them, “I haven’t said anything that average Montanans wouldn’t agree with. I have simply stated that guns shouldn’t be in the hands of the mentally ill and criminals. That’s not too much to ask for, and that’s not a radical position.”

DIS-qualified for having anything to do with the MAIGgots. Maybe she's also a member of the "moms lookin' for a little 'action'" as well. Regardless, heads up Montana.

And, if you lived in Montana(or do)would you vote against her? I think I know the answer. “Liberal and open to big government.” pretty much says it all about her.

“Curtis’s brother killed himself playing Russian roulette when he was 16.”

-I’m sorry this woman lost her brother. That said, 16 is old enough to know that “playing” Russian roulette is not a good idea. Guns are not toys, and should never be treated as one.

“If Montana has 2.5 times the suicide rate of states with comprehensive background checks, maybe we should try that out,”

-Post hoc ergo propter hoc - I think. It’s some sort of logical fallacy, anyhoot.

“I have simply stated that guns shouldn’t be in the hands of the mentally ill and criminals. That’s not too much to ask for, and that’s not a radical position.”

-Neither is wishing for world peace. Doesn’t mean it can be accomplished. Nor does it mean that the means you would employ to try to bring your goal about aren’t themselves radical.

Why would I want to waste any of my time meeting this idiot? Also, consider the source. The Wash (com)Post once ran anti-gun editorials for 350 days in a row.

I'd no sooner vote for her than her hero Trayvon: 'Discussing another castle-doctrine-esque bill, which she called the "Trayvon Martin Constitutional Amendment: Montana Style," she wore a black hoodie -- a reference to what Martin was wearing when he was killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.'

HUH?

If you are going to commit suicide there certainly is no need for a gun - plenty of alternatives are currently available. Liberalism is a mental disorder. END of story.

Obviously a student of detail to make her decision about tres gone’s death and the relevancy of the black hoodie for a black hoodlum. I’m guessin’ she’d just lay back and let tres gone pound her head in to mush using the sidewalk as the weapon.

Who do you think outed Senator John Walsh? He was outed in The New York Times. Does anybody, anybody, think that the New York Times would investigate a tip sent to them by a Republican? It was the Democrats who ended Walsh’s campaign. They saw that he had no chance to win, so they are trying something else. The big complaint the Democrats had was that there were no young Democrat candidates. They view this as a no-lose situation. If she wins....great. If she loses.....her name gets out there.
For those Democrats in Montana who liked Walsh because he was a Veteran, welcome to the Democrat Party. They destroyed one of their own. The Democrat Party has no loyalty except to money.

—Lyndon Johnson when he signed the 1968 gun control act into law.

If she would just go get some professional help, maybe she would come to realize that the rampant mental illness in her family has nothing to do with the Constitution.

Vlogger = “Video blogger”

A blogger who is so bad at grammar and spelling they don't bother to try and type?

Playing Russian roulette is not the same as committing suicide...only 1 in 6 chance of success. Playing Russian roulette is just stupid.

I would think the long cold winters have a lot to do with the suicide rates.
