I agree with Ed. Gary is a fantastic person and has done more to protect our 2nd amendment rights in Montana then other.
The writer of this article must have and IQ below my family dog. "Un-reasonable gun agenda" and "Gun nut"?
I have peoples lives in my hands every day providing anesthesia. My wife is a pharmacist and I have two daughters in college. We all love to shoot and yes, gasp even hunt. We must be gun nuts as well.

Ed-

Your admonition that a person from Montana leave the state to move to California might have more credibility if you were not born and raised in New York. I'm not saying that's a compelling argument, but since the wingnuts always make residency in Montana the issue, you should do better.

On another note, it's been over three months…where is either Mr. Marbut's retraction or proof of his claims?

Young lady, I for one, sure am glad that there are many more "fools"; like Mr. Marbut in Montana than there are well intentioned but totally misguided people that you portray yourself to be. If you wish to advance your views and goals; painting opposing views as "the solution to everything" would have gotten you thrown off the debate team. California by the way is further west! I hear the weather is beautiful this time of year!:)

Ok. I dont know anything about Marbut, but I live in Glasgow. Gary Marbut is not exaggerating anything. If Scott Billingsley had not been at the hospital that night, more people would be dead in our town. If Scott hadn’t had weapons in his vehicle, more tragedy would have occurred, and he and his wife would surely be among the dead. Whether you believen in gun ownership or not (which I DO!), Roger Lynn Sellers would still have had his gun and still would have used it. All gun control is going to do is take guns away from the good guys. The homicidal maniacs will still have them.
Scott is a hero, and I thank God for him.

I met Gary Marbut for one of my classes. I will third that he’s an ass. Guns aren’t the solution to everything, weirdly enough.

Marbutt IS an ass! Look, he thinks that ONLY kooks like himself believe in gun rights. And that’s just crap. And as far as this Glasgow thing goes, sumtin’ is REAL wrong with it. I agree with Marbutt on this point though. If a shooting victim was able to shoot back, why can’t we know?

Marbut is an asss.

He’ll do anything to politicize his agenda, so this doesn’t surprise me. He’s crass, classless and comes off as fool – and that is in person. I can only imagine him writing letters and calling every media source that he knows to push his “guns are great and the solution to everything” agenda.
