Gary Marbut, Pres. Mt. Shooting Sports Assn. Will Be On Glenn Beck

Gary Marbut is president of the Montana Shooting Sports Association and he and his association were very instrumental in getting the “Montana Made Guns Bill” introduced, passed through the Montana Legislature and signed by Gov. Brian Schweitzer.

I just received this notice from Gary moments ago to announce that he will appear on the Glenn Beck show on Fox News on Friday, May 15, 2009.

Note: Gary regularly sends me his information about the Montana Shooting Sports Association and other outdoor related news from Montana and I created him a spot at Montana Hunting Today where I post all of his alerts and announcements.

I have been invited to be on the Glenn Beck Show this Friday to talk about MSSA’s Montana-made guns bill. This Tenth Amendment assertion idea is going viral. Clones of our Montana HB 246 have been introduced in Alaska, Texas and Tennessee. I have information that clones are being prepared for introduction in Georgia, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arizona, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Washington, and maybe some places I haven’t heard about.

Just in case you’ve been living in a cave, HB 246 declares that any firearms, ammunition and firearm accessories made and retained in Montana are not subject to any federal regulation or control under the power given to Congress in the U.S. Constitution to “regulate commerce … among the states.”

The message I will carry is that since the states created the federal government, it is the states which must get their creature on a leash and enforce the literal terms of the Tenth Amendment, and that state-made and retained guns are a fine vehicle for beginning that Tenth Amendment assertion.

If plans work out as laid, I will be on the Beck Show Friday, 5 to 6PM, Eastern time. I am told that this show is on from 3 to 4 PM in Montana. HB 246 sponsor, Rep. Joel Boniek (R-Livingston) is scheduled to be on the show also.

FYI, I’ve done interviews with the Associated Press, USA Today and Newsmax about HB 246 and the state-made guns movement. MSSA is definitely in the news! Also, somebody is building a “Montana Firearms Freedom Act” page on Wikipedia. Way cool!
