First, Senator Arlen Specter provided the instrumental Republican
support to get anti-gun Attorney General Eric Holder confirmed by the
Senate.
Then, he singlehandedly pushed through the massive economic bailout, the
so-called stimulus bill, which contained several provisions of concern
to gun owners.
So it comes as no surprise that liberal anti-gun Specter, who has no
loyalty to the Constitution, also has no [...]

Friends,
As I mentioned in my last email, we had a temporary success when Rep. Paymar could not muster the votes needed to put his anti-Second amendment provisions on to another bill in committee several weeks ago.  Unfortunately, Rep. Paymar has not given up in his effort to erode our Second Amendment rights.
Last night in the [...]

Due to nonsense legislation like this, I can now carry my firearms anywhere in the state except for schools, Federal buildings and the woods by my house – make sense of that.

I found an old documentary from 1994.  Larry Pratt hosts and discusses many historical issues regarding the constitution, founding fathers and of course the second amendment.

Halbrook was recently interviewed by Glenn Beck on Fox News Channel on the new efforts to force gun owners to purchase a $1 million insurance policy in order to have Second Amendment rights.

I found this gem in my inbox from Rep. Paymar regarding HF953.
Dear Marc:
Thank you for contacting me regarding House File 953.  As the author of this legislation, I want to clearly dispel the misinformation that surrounds this proposal.
This bill is good policy. Since this legislation was first introduced last year, I have worked with opponents [...]

I found this in a recent lwvm newsletter.
HF953:  This legislation would close loopholes in existing firearm background check requirements.  Current background checks before purchase of a firearm are required only on sales conducted by federally-licensed dealers, exempting sales at gun shows, over the internet, and in private transfers.  The bill has [...]

Rep. Paulsen,
I have been following in the news recent statements regarding re-enacting the “Assault Weapon” ban by Eric Holder.
Today I see this letter from the two Montana U.S. Senators:
Dear Attorney General Holder:
This letter is in regards to your recent comments suggesting the reinstatement of the ban on assault weapons. We oppose reinstating the ban on [...]

Montana’s U.S. Senators Max Baucus and Jon Tester sent a simple and clear message to Attorney General Eric Holder today: any new gun restrictions are a non-starter.
