House Bill 205, sponsored by Representative Krayton Kerns (R-58), is currently awaiting final approval by the state Senate.  This bill would legalize the use of suppressors for all hunting.  While suppressors do not eliminate the sound of a firearm, they do reduce the muzzle report in a manner similar to the way that a muffler reduces exhaust noise from a vehicle. The benefits associated with suppressor use include increased accuracy due to reduced recoil and muzzle blast, protection from hearing damage and reduced noise pollution.  The state Senate could vote on HB 205 soon, so please contact your state Senator and encourage his or her support for this hunting reform legislation.  For more information on firearms and suppressors, click here.

Also Bullock wants to ban bow hunting. He also has the strange idea making bow hunters remove their vehicle mufflers to warn the game and the game wardens that they are hunting. I think he has lost what little brain he ever hat.He will permit bow hunting for one minute one day. only. What a quacker roo!

It saddens to say that my once great state of Montana, is slowly turning into California…

I still don’t know why the NRA gave this communist Steve Bullock an A+ rating…

WhoWuddaThunkIt

@John Dunlap, I hear ya. I think its high time to removed these career politicians with mandatory term limits in all offices. The voters are surely uninformed and brainwashed by the lame-stream media. U.S. Senators 2 Terms max. Old thinking will not move this country forward. There is way… too much corruption by politicians and their handlers when they overstay their welcome.

The traitor vetoed hb302. Montana, Stop voting for f***ing communists! Do you want to end up like California or colorado?.
We had a chance to vote in a real 2nd amendment supporter in office, but most of the retarts in my state voted this douche bag instead…
