Montana – -(AmmoLand.com)- Dear Montana Shooting Sports Association Friends,
You may have heard Internet or other chatter urging armed rallies at state capitols for and before the inauguration.
There are some who claim that such proposals are provocateur efforts to create false flag incidents to demonize gun owners. I can’t say for sure, but that’s possible.
What I do know for sure is that any such demonstrations are not encouraged or supported by the Montana Shooting Sports Association, the National Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, or the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
None of the major gun rights groups are advocating such demonstrations.
I also know that things in Montana are going our way politically. My well-developed political instinct is that now is not a good time, to aid our political progress, for any “in your face” type of direct action in Helena. Such action would most likely offend political friends who are currently very much with us. Said differently, it is my judgment that a confrontational armed rally at the Montana capitol would most likely be counterproductive to the political gains we expect to make this legislative session.
So, if you’ve heard about and maybe wondering about any proposed armed rallies at state capitols, I can’t say what the benefit or effect might be in other states. But, in Montana, where I know the political turf, I believe such a demonstration would not be a good idea. Plus, the possibility exists that this idea is being circulated by anti-gunners trying to bait us to sticking a leg into a bear trap.
Best wishes,
Gary Marbut, President

The danger of coming as armed groups is that some Liberal politician might use the opportunity to set up a shooting incident just to highlight the danger of guns!
No republican nor gun owner should be anywhere near the capitol(s) except for photographers to record the faces of domestic terrorists.
I am sure the Antifa and BLM scum will costume up to assist their Democrat employers
Like when instigators were handed batons by Capital staff in DC?

Don’t go, you’ll only prove the Democrats point that gun owners want a violent confrontation.
Cool heads always prevail.
If you want “show and tell”, wait for lobby day.
Their advertising flyers are a dead giveaway. Commie red with pentagrams pasted all over Lady Liberty. They may as well have just put their hammers and sickles on there.
My gut tells me this is a setup. Don’t go. No one is more angry and upset over the way things have gone than I am, but to me, this sounds like live “click bait” to trick gun owners into doing stupid stuff and playing right into their hands. Especially since no one knows exactly who is organizing these “rallies”. Don’t go.
You all should already know the fact that anything the left is accusing the right of doing……That’s exactly what they are doing or planning on doing!
Trump has it right he’s not going either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all good gun owners should go to the range on the 20th better that the news catches lines waiting their turn to practice 2nd
