You’ve seen those ‘Merica memes that try to poke fun at the stereotype of the conservative gun loving American male whose reason for doing conservative things is because he loves ‘Merica.
Frankly, I think that we could use more folks like that these days instead of the self-hating, self-victimization glorifying idea of maleness typically pushed by the political left and their lapdogs in the mainstream legacy media.
We could use a wholesale return to traditional ‘Merican values such as limited government, free enterprise, (truly) free speech, and “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms.”
Fortunately for the people of one state, their governor appears to believe that, too. In fact, he called out another state’s governor precisely because of that, and, frankly, if I didn’t already live in a gun friendly state, I’d be looking for property in his state right now (hat tip to here for the lead).

Montana Governor Greg Gianforte has issued a bold invitation to firearms manufacturers in Colorado following the passage of a sweeping new gun control law. In a video posted to social media platform X, Gianforte extended a public call for gun makers to relocate to Montana, criticizing Colorado’s latest firearm restrictions as out of step with American values.
“Do you want to move back to America?” Gianforte asked, referring to Colorado’s newly enacted law banning the manufacture and sale of semi-automatic firearms—a move he called “one of the most restrictive gun bans ever adopted in the United States.”
The new law, signed last week by Colorado Governor Jared Polis, builds on existing restrictions in the state, including a ban on magazines with capacities over 15 rounds. Colorado is ranked among the top ten states for firearms industry presence, making the legislation particularly impactful for manufacturers operating there.
Now, it’s absolutely appalling that Polis and the Colorado legislature have signed that kind of garbage gun control into law, but it’s pretty great seeing the reply from Montana’s Gianforte. You can watch his video below.
I tell you, if I didn’t already live in a pro-gun state, I’d be looking for property in Montana right now, and if you currently live in Colorado or another anti-2A state, maybe you should consider that, too.
