Please give me an example of when someone tried to take away your 2A rights. We have had 16yrs of D presidents of the last 30. You should be able to find me one given the fear you seem to possess on the subject.

If the Democrats had the Senate and the presidency, they've already said they'd like to end the filibuster (which gives them all kinds of power). Also, read Biden's gun plan on his website. Ever heard of the NRA? They've been fighting for our gun rights for years. Just because they haven't taken them doesn't mean it will never happen. Read some history buddy. I'm not saying it will happen and I hope it never does in America. But people don't seem to appreciate just how rare our situation in America is, and how much a lot of people would like us to look a whole lot more like every other country that can't enjoy what we can. Historically democracies only last about 200 years. So don't try to tell me what the Democrats will or won't do to me. I think if they could they would, and the only reason they can't is because there isn't unlimited power for either side. That's why the founders of our country set it up that way. But I see more power hungry politicians looking to change that. Rights are never gone until they're gone.

Relax, this is just my opinion

Unfortunately, Greg is obviously more popular with Montanan’s who do not cherish or value access to public lands or wild place's. Than again it’s all about the mighty $

Harris said she would ban guns by executive order when she becomes president.
Biden said Beto would be the gun czar.

She never said that. Regarding Beto, I guess we’re going to find out soon enough.

Most people aren’t single issue voters. Many of the people I spoke with didn’t like Greg, but Cooney was portrayed as a soft career politician that would get run over.Unfortunately, Greg is obviously more popular with Montanan’s who do not cherish or value access to public lands or wild place's.

Montana has a lot of small business owners and ranchers that live here. The economy has a substantial impact on how they make a living. Many people want the economy to hum right along and feel that Greg was the better option for that.

I don’t see anything happening to the 2a with our current Supreme Court makeup.

“Reasonable gun safety laws” does not equal banning guns.

That applies to the NRA as well. Keep sending your dues. They need it for their legal defense and LaPierre’s lifestyle.

... and "school choice", aka siphoning tax dollars from Montana public education to private ideologically based schools. Pay attention to 2021 educational legislative proposals.Good ole Montana voters.....A red tsunami while also voting for legalizing weed.

Yep.^
No biggie though...most folks don't prioritize education in this state,wait ...I take that back...folks prioritize school sports.
If they end the filibuster they want to pack the courts by adding more spots. Again, hope it never happens. This is nothing but desperation in my book, but the question is why? Because they want control
It applies to everything, but I'm less concerned about the finer details of the NRA than I am about my country and government. I'm not concerned about the NRA gaining absolute power. Come on, man.

Maybe they did, but I don't recall previous governor-elects doing this. Greg Gianforte is allowing folks to apply for various positions in State Government that are appointed by the executive office. Many have significant sway over how things are perceived and/or will be implemented. I think mining Montana's intellectual capital for folks with skill and talent is a great idea for those positions. I don’t know how serious the applications will be taken, but I can imagine certain folks on here being good candidates for some of the positions.
