n anticipation of the upcoming November General Election, the Montana Shooting Sports Association (MSSA) has unveiled its highly anticipated 2024 candidate grades and endorsements, aimed at guiding pro-gun voters in their choices at the polls.
MSSA has given Chief Justice candidate Jeremiah Lynch an F rating. The group endorsed Lynch’s opponent, Broadwater County Attorney Cory Swanson.
Each candidate’s grade, issued by MSSA, reflects their stance and commitment to upholding the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (RKBA). The ratings are meticulously derived from a comprehensive analysis that includes tracking legislative votes and evaluating candidate responses to MSSA’s questionnaires. Incumbents’ grades are informed by their historical voting records, while new candidates were assessed based on their responses to MSSA’s questionnaire. Candidates without a voting record or questionnaire response were marked with a “?” indicating uncertainty regarding their stance on RKBA.
MSSA’s grading system serves as a crucial tool for Montana’s gun owners, offering clear insights into which candidates are likely to advocate for and protect their rights. With RKBA issues at the forefront of public discourse, these ratings provide voters with essential information to make informed decisions come Election Day.
The MSSA urges Montana’s extensive community of gun owners and hunters, numbering in the thousands, to ensure their voices are heard by registering to vote. Emphasizing the ease of voter registration through local county offices or the Montana Secretary of State’s website, MSSA encourages citizens to verify their registration status and assist others in doing so.
“Freedom is not free. It is a participatory endeavor,” states MSSA. The association calls upon supporters of RKBA to unite behind candidates endorsed for their dedication to protecting these fundamental rights. MSSA encourages spreading awareness among fellow gun owners, advocating voter registration, and rallying support to achieve a pro-gun victory in November.
