[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2001533, member: 115658"] LR-130, on Montana ballot. "Don't Take Away Our Freedom To Make Local Decisions" - "JOIN US IN VOTING NO ON LR-130" The cry of those who oppose LR-130. This evolved, in part, from the attempt of Missoula city council to ban private firearm transfers within the city of Missoula. The Montana state attorney general ruled against it. The AG's decision was voided by a state judge, then the Montana supreme court upheld the AG's decision and the Missoula city council's ruling went away. The Montana state legislation, mostly Republican apparently drafted LR-130 which more or less preempted local politicians from drafting legislation that could affect Montana citizens not residing in certain localities or just traveling thru certain localities. [I]A good example would be some liberal city council, like in Missoula, deciding to ban magazines holding more than 10 rounds - making possession of such a criminal offense. Some unwary citizen from another location traveling thru Missoula gets caught with a 20 round magazine and then is charged with a criminal firearm offense.[/I] The anti thing in my mail box claimed that - "LR-130 is opposed by veterans, ranchers, doctors, nurses, hunters, law enforcement officers, and the Montana League of cities and towns ...." Then - "is an attempt by lobbyists and out of touch politicians to take away our freedom to make local decisions" At this point I am reminded that $27 million is being dumped into Montana, a state having about 800 thousand people ($30-$35 per human) in an effort to get Steve B elected to US Senate, and Kathy to US House of Rep. I might have not got all the details exactly right but this is the gist of all of it. We don't need a variety of city regulations that would adversely affect other Montana residents. Possibly, Missoula might regard its city boundaries as check points with inspection stations sort of like some caliphate to ensure its "Freedom To Make Local Decisions". [/QUOTE]
