The Helena chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America marched on the Montana State Capitol Wednesday, following the fatal school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The group says they’ve been disappointed with the Gianforte Administration, after the Republican governor signed a law last year making it leagal to carry guns without a permit in most locations, including on state college campuses, and government buildings. Moms Demand Action said theyd like to see mandatory background checks implemented.
MEANWHILE…
