the right to keep or bear arms on behalf of Montana gun owners
2026 Candidate Questionnaires
Introduction: MSSA
is the primary entity asserting the right of Montana citizens to keep
and bear arms. Over the past 30 years or so, MSSA has gotten 73
pro-gun (mostly) and pro-hunting bills enacted into law.
Montana voters are concerned about laws relating to firearms and MSSA
keeps them informed about what impact political candidates may have
on those laws.
