Gun debates have especially succumbed to flagrant partisanship, with politicians so beholden to the party line that there is little room for conversation that deviates from “Second Amendment rights” on the one hand to “gun control at all costs” on the other. HB 102, which would permit campus concealed carry, follows this pattern, as evidenced by its passage in a straight party-line vote. The specter of the Second Amendment demands unthinking Republican support for all pro-gun positions, despite contravening evidence, common sense, or historical precedent. On all three levels, our elected representatives in the Montana Senate should oppose this bill. |

| Baloney. Gun issues are weighted by the Constitution's 2nd Amendment, and there is nothing (not even so-called "common sense") that can overcome the straightforward declaration of inalienability. |
