Montana Repos Support Right of Meth Addicts to Brandish Guns.
Our Repos are just as loony as anybody's I guess. They hold the state house by a one vote margin, supplied by lone Constitutionalist Party member. A few weeks ago, they cut spending on Health and Human Service in the state to.....$366.00 dollars. That's not a typo. The Repos fully expect the Dem Senate to restore funding in those areas, but it kind of shows what whack jobs we got here.

Now they are promoting meth violence.



Gun rights bill comes under fire
By The Associated Press
http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/03/28/news/state/23-gunrights_s.txt

HELENA - A well-known prosecutor trashed a proposed gun rights bill, saying Wednesday that supporters are using deceit to push the politically charged measure.

(snip)

Supporters had been pointing to a case in Billings where they said a woman who felt threatened was charged with a crime for simply brandishing a gun at a man who came to her door. They said the case is evidence that people are being charged with felonies just for protecting themselves.

Paxinos said the woman, Krystal Keithley, was actually a meth addict. She knew the man at the door was a maintenance man, but decided to "go nutso" anyway and threaten to shoot him after he twice knocked on her door asking she move a car.

He said the proposed gun rights bill gives new rights to criminals and will make it harder for prosecutors to charge criminals who would try to assert a new self defense right under the measure.

"I don't think we should be here saying the Krystal Keithleys of Montana should be causing harm to the Joe Blow maintenance people," Paxinos said. "How (arguments supporting the bill) could be so warped and misconstrued, you are going to have to ask yourself that."
