Frequently Asked Questions

What did the Missoula City Council do regarding firearms?

The Missoula City Council enacted an emergency ordinance on October 17, 2018, immediately banning firearms in specific public locations like city council meeting buildings, public museums, the library, and certain parks. A subsequent ban was planned to make these restrictions permanent.

How are gun death statistics being misrepresented?

The video claims that the statistic of 95 gun deaths per day is inflated by 66% by including suicides and accidental firearm-related deaths, which are not reported as homicides. This inflated number is used to portray firearms as a greater public health emergency than they are.

What do court rulings say about carrying firearms in public?
