Related: About this forumGun, violence rallies trigger emotions in Montana
HELENA Nearly 150 people gathered on the steps of the state Capitol on Saturday in a show of solidarity for the Second Amendment right to bear arms as rallies for an end to gun violence took place elsewhere in Montana.
Today is a great day in Montana and we will be heard, said Brent Webber, who organized the March for our Guns rally in response to the March for our Lives events held nationwide Saturday in observance of the Feb. 14 shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, that killed 17 people.
A couple miles away an anti-violence rally was held at Helenas Memorial Park. Other Montana observances were also held in Great Falls, Missoula, Billings and Bozeman.
Webber said March for our Guns event was for every Montanan who did not have a voice in this debate through the media.

But perhaps that is a good thing.

in Big Sky Country who support gun reform. Bring it on. I am weary of the RWNJ's driving the conversation up here...and everywhere else for that matter.
