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!
Yeah, like a practice baseball game.
Yep! Just like the woman who was MURDERED inside of the Capital Building by a “policeman”!!!!!!!
As someone that spent a career in law enforcement,I am unsure if that was (A) poor training (B) cowardice (C) or murder—in any event it should not have happened and should not go unpunished .
In any event, this is what can happen when you place people in positions for which they are not qualified for whatever reason. I have seen the negative results too many times. This person, and the person responsible for him being in that position should pay a price, a heavy price. Of course that will never happen. And so, the beat goes on.
No republican nor gun owner should be anywhere near the capitol(s) except for photographers to record the faces of domestic terrorists.
In the words of “Gunny Highway” don’t give the bastards the satisfaction.
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?

Not Capital Staff but Fellow Domestics Terrorists
Never argue with a Fool. He’ll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Don’t forget the mid terms and those that voted for impeachment, 1. Rep. Liz Cheney, Wyoming’s at-large district: Trump won Wyoming 70% to 27%, and she’s the third-ranking leader in the House. So for her not just to vote in favor of impeachment but also issue a stinging rebuke is quite the step. Cheney was unequivocal in her statement, saying Trump “summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.” She called what Trump did the “greatest betrayal” of a U.S. president ever. 2. Rep. Tom Rice, South Carolina’s 7th Congressional District: This is one no one saw… Read more »
How many accounts do you have on Ammoland?
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
That’s a brilliant idea. 🙂
Get the word out on that.
Don’t even acknowledge the inauguration.
Get some range time in.
Let’s officially change the name from “Inauguration of a communist day” to
“Patriot Range Day”
I just called took a Vacation day from work to do this.
Arms have their place in threatening and intimidating people, but that is for only the right time and place, if ever. Mainly, that is the approach used by oppressive regimes to assure their people that everyone is fully “protected” by the state. To parade around in the name of “liberty” and suggest that armed Americans will eventually win the contest over everyone else because they presume to have the physical power to do so is the worst kind of gesturing imaginable, and it is as hypocritical about respect toward the rights and viewpoints of others as it can be.

Gary is certainly right about Montana and almost certainly right about such rallies at other state capitols, this is not the time to piss off the few friends we have left.
But his explanation reminded me of an old story that is too long to quote here in its entirety. Hopefully this link will be ok

As a comment on last weeks “insurrection” if you’ll notice the many provocateurs wearing special black “cycling” helmets, those are the troublemakers. Those who came prepared with shields and helmets are professional protesters straight from antifa/ blm rallies. not ours!
“False Flag” meaning you are already trying to deflect for the actions of Right Wing Terrorist’s
Don’t be a hater . Your no Darth Vader. Come to the right. Come towards the light.
It is pretty clear by now that the calls for action for the weekend and for Inauguration Day are all fake.
Antifa ,BLM and the Klan are leftist terrorists — and they already have their costumes ready
Perhaps you need to study some history. More than 95% of all terrorist acts committed over the last 150 years were committed by the political Left.
I commend you for your obvious extensive research on and expertise in practicing the methods of Herr Joseph Goebbels. “Always accuse your enemies of what you are doing yourself.”
