#MTGov Daily Rundown: Steve Bullock's Record on the 2nd Amendment Mirrors that of Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton is one of the most anti-2nd Amendment politicians to ever run for or hold public office. She has a long history of fighting against the right to keep and bear arms and the National Rife Association has consistently given her a "F" grade. While Governor Bullock claims to support the 2nd Amendment, his endorsement of Hillary Clinton should be enough to call that into question.
Hillary Clinton has refused to state that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right. -ABC, 6/5/2016
She has stated her support for an assault weapons ban, a ban on high-capacity magazines, and stated that lawful gun owners "hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people." -CNN, 6/18/2014)
She has praised large scale gun confiscation schemes that have occurred in nations such as Australia and the United Kingdom. -Huffington Post, 10/16/2015
She has called for Americans to be stripped of their 2nd Amendment rights without due process based on their name appearing on the highly mistake prone No Fly List. -CNN, 12/5/2016
In addition to his endorsement of Hillary Clinton, Governor Bullock quietly amassed his own anti-2nd Amendment track record. During his tenure, the governor has vetoed multiple bills that would have enhanced the right of Montanans to keep and bear arms.
"The Senate also passed a measure to prohibit local law enforcement from assisting in the enforcement of future federal gun laws. Both bills passed on party-line votes.
"Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock on Friday vetoed a pair of Republican-sponsored gun rights bills, including one that would allow almost any adult to carry a concealed weapon in Montana without a permit." -Missoulian, 3/27/2015
One of those bills would have pushed back against President Obama's unconstitutional executive overreach on guns. Bullock vetoed the bill. However, AFTER Obama actually issued an executive order on guns, Bullock criticized the decision.
"Bullock also vetoed HB203, which would prohibit any state or local officials in Montana from enforcing any future federal restrictions on gun or weapon magazine ownership." -Missoulian 3/27/2015

"But this discussion is too important for the President to circumvent Congress with the stroke of a pen.” -Billings Gazette, 1/5/2016
