Montana Elections Could have Massive Impact On Republican Control of Senate
AmmoLand ^ | June 9, 2024 | Dean Weingarten

Montana’s office of governor, lieutenant governor, and the  U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by Senator Jon Tester are up for election in 2024. Montana is considered a Republican stronghold. The Republican primary for governor totaled 78,667 votes. The Democrat primary for governor totaled 54,402 votes.  Democratic Party Senator Tester has become an anomaly among statewide elected positions in Montana.

Republican Governor Greg Gianforte is popular. He is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment in his words and actions and is almost certainly going to win.

Ryan Busse, the Democratic candidate for governor, was an executive at Kimber. He wrote a book titled “Gunfight,” which blames firearms manufacturers for crimes committed with guns. In an interview on “The Trace,” it seems his wife had tremendous influence in blaming firearms manufacturers for crimes. After the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass murder in Florida, she blamed the NRA. From the trace:

“Six years later, after another school shooting, this time at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, Sara’s anger boiled over. She posted on Facebook that she hoped people would back their prayers for Florida with action: “The ONLY way this will EVER change is if the NRA goes up in FLAMES!”

Busse resigned from Kimber and became a proponent of restrictive legislation aimed at gun owners.

 In the summer of 2020, Busse accepted a position as an adviser to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, and this past  summer, he was hired as a senior adviser to the gun violence prevention group Giffords. He wrote the book, he said, because Americans deserve to know how the country got so polarized, and to encourage the ocean of silent moderates that he believes are out there to find their voices.

Busse testified as a technical expert for the state of California

Jon Tester is vulnerable. Montana is a Red state whose major media is deep blue.

“The ONLY way this will EVER change is if the NRA goes up in FLAMES!”

Libs never experienced weapons safety and training and the NRA has a long history of providing gun safety classes and instruction to millions of people and ethnicities, gun safety teaches respect for the weapon.

But that’s not their goal. That goal is power, and total control when Americans are 2A is not possible.

I was a member back in Junior high, but how many teens had money for subs and dues? I sure didn’t.

which blames firearms manufacturers for crimes committed with guns.

He blamed automobile companies for drunk driving, too!

That moron doesn't sound like someone who lives in Montana! I wonder if he grew up in North Korea!! 🤓

Montana has the similar issues as UT, WY, ID and AZ.
The Mormon Mafia.
LOTS of fake Republicans.

WY fixed their big problem by getting rid of Crazy Liz.
ID seems to be realizing they have been infiltrated and are starting cleanup.
UT, the HQ of the Mormon Mafia still dreams of a Mormon President.
LOTS to fix in AZ.

Leftists do not believe in individual responsibility.

The logic is simple, and false.

Here is how the left denies responsibility by individuals and places it on manufacturers:

If a manufacturer did not manufacture guns, crimes would not be committed with guns.

Manufacturers trick people into believing guns are useful.

People buy guns based on the trick.

People then do bad things with guns, which they would not have done if the manufacturers had not tricked them.

Therefore the manufacturers are at fault.

Bad things happened. Someone has to pay. Manufacturers have money, therefore they should pay.

Gianforte should have switched gears and run for the senate. The senate is more important than a governorship. Our people tend to take the path of least resistance and avoid tough road.

Montana doesn’t need a GOP governor. It’s on automatic pilot. The country needs a GOP senate.

Don’t know about that they keep reelecting this piece of crap! So I see no hope in Montana kicking this jackass over the cliff.
