PROTECTING SCHOOLS FROM GUN MASSACRES

Kathleen has the courage to say enough is enough; it’s time to do something about the all-too-frequent massacres in our schools.

On the campaign trail, Kathleen has talked to teachers, school staff, and students who are afraid to go to work or go to school because they don’t know if they’ll come back alive. One teacher got into an argument with a parent at a parent-teacher conference, and left school because she thought he might come back with a gun.

Kathleen’s family has shotguns and rifles, but they never felt the need to own an AR-15. Military-style rifles need to be confined to controlled environments, like machine guns are today. We also must regulate bump stocks and ensure our background check system keeps guns out of the hands of people who should not own them.

Kathleen supports the Second Amendment. She is a gun owner. But four courts have declined to extend Second Amendment protections to military-style weapons. These are firearms designed to kill and maim quickly and broadly, not hunting equipment or for self-defense.

Guns factor into domestic violence deaths. Bozeman recently witnessed gruesome murders where former partners hunted women down and shot them in their homes. Federal law protecting women from such gun violence is arbitrarily limited. The law needs to be extended to include violence committed by dating partners. Individuals killed by current dating partners make up almost half of all spouse and partner homicides. Existing federal law should also apply to convicted stalkers and others subject to a protective order. Abused husbands, parents, and siblings must also be protected.

In the Montana Legislature, Kathleen voted against bills that would have deregulated guns on college campuses and allowed people to carry guns in all bars, restaurants, and churches. In Congress, she will work with anyone to pass common sense reforms that keep our children safe from gun massacres.

Absolutely fucking terrifying in a state like Montana.

Looks like she's running for U.S. House. At the bottom of her priorities page she has this wonderful statement:



"Kathleen supports the Second Amendment."

Californians have fucked up that state in a hurry.

Yep. Been hunting/fishing Montana (and a land owner since 1993) since 1979.
I've watched it change for the worse like WA state.
Missoula and Bozeman are the liberal bastions of the state, because they're been indoctrinating college kids for decades.

Fortunately where we'll retire, the only liberals around are the tourist as they drive by up to GNP.
