Montana Governor Lies About the Constitution, Vetoes 2nd Amendment Protection Bill

Here’s a surprise for you; some Governors have absolutely zero understanding of the Constitution. None, whatsoever. Montana Governor Steve Bullock seems to fit that description quite nicely.

Yesterday, he vetoed Montana House Bill 302 (HB302). The bill would require the state to refuse to enforce or assist the enforcement of any federal bans on semiautomatic weapons or large capacity magazines. The bill states, in part:

A peace officer, state employee, or employee of any political subdivision is prohibited from enforcing, assisting in the enforcement of, or otherwise cooperating in the enforcement of a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines and is also prohibited from participating in any federal enforcement action implementing a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines.

Here’s why Bullock is clueless about the Constitution. In his veto message he wrote that the bill would put “law enforcement in the position of violating laws they have sworn to uphold” and “subject our peace officers to criminal sanctions for upholding the oath we ask that they take.”

Here’s a message for you, Steve. You’re a liar, and we know it.

It sounds like Barry Hussein Soetoro got to the Gov.

Wrong. They swore to uphold the Constitution, not laws that fly in the face of it.

Thanks for that first hand perspective. Makes it much easier to understand. Would the light of day on his nature damage him in an election?

There is video at the link, not sure it is what you asked about but looks pretty critical of his actions as Attorney General.

quote from link:

I. Steve Bullock as Montana Attorney General used public funds to protect the unauthorized practice, and criminal contempt of a Montana Law Student.

Angela Wetzsteon practiced unsupervised in violation of the Montana Student Practice Rule

Steve Bullock’s Tort Defense Division under Michael King protected Wetzsteon.

The influence of Steve Bullock prompted the Montana Supreme Court to violate its own order that established the Student Practice Rule.

Montana Ethics rule 5.5 prohibits assisting unauthorized practice of ANYONE.

The FBI’s #1 criminal priority is public fraud—proven with cause No. DA-10-0492 as the Attorney General office under Steve Bullock protected Angela Wetzsteon’s criminal conduct with our tort defense division of the Montana Attorney Generals office in Helena, MT.

Bullock won the election by around 9,000 votes only after the libertarian candidate split the ticket and took 18,000 votes, mostly from the GOP candidate Rick Hill.

Does Montana have Impeachment laws on their books?

This guy has to be removed from his office.

Yes. Liberterians have put many liberals into power. They claim that they take votes from both parties. It simply is not so.
