I imagine most major firearm manufacturers would put a plant in Montana. It would increase the firearms in circulation, lower the price, maybe increase the availability of ammunition, as well as create jobs.
All things the stimulus could never hope of doing.

Maybe the Tenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution, backed by the Second amendment, will save this country. Despite those idiots in Washington who think they are lords and princes.

“I am not aware of any real blue steel weapons foundries in Montana. Please correct me if I am wrong.”
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like a major game change has gone on in the firearms industry over the past 15 years. Used to, everything was forged then machined on purpose built machines (think Smith and Wesson up until the 1980’s). Then things were cast and machined a little bit (think Ruger). Until the 1990’s how many arms makers were there in the US that made more than, say, 300 guns a year? Not that many; it took a lot of capital to start an arms company based on forging, casting, or machining on purpose built machines.
But now CNC machinery is cheap and there are a lot of people out there who can program them and set them up. The point is that it doesn't take a huge amount of capital anymore. Look at all the new arms makers to show up in the past 15 years. Whereas gun smiths used to rework Colt 1911, a bunch of outfits now make them from bar stock. Does anyone even have a list of all the AR-15 makers? New cartridges and arms are designed and made faster than gun grabbers can try to catalog them.
If there is demand for it Montana, it will be produced there.

Not if they operated under a real constitutionally limited government, as per our Founding Fathers.

Cruise missles, on the other hand, are a different story.Iirc, there ar a significant number of Minuteman III missles at Malmstrom already.

Whoever wrote this doesn't understand how the Interstate Commerce clause of the Constitution has been (mis)interpreted by the courts.I am sure they looked into that, and like you said, understand how it has been misinterpreted.

As a practical matter, Montana would have to assume their share of the current $11 trillion Federal debt, an impossible burden on any government entity that lacks the power to print their own money. Is that figured as 1/50th or by population, or by the amount of money Montana has actually received? Population=<1/300th, 1/50 and we are all getting screwed except the states who got the money, and if you tally up the money spent in each state, Oil, gas, coal, platinum, copper and gold could probably pay it back, not to mention the timber after the owls all get kicked out...

In my opinion, you’re not an ex-member until you’re laid to rest.
