Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) on Friday signed a bill nullifying federal gun bans.
“Today, I proudly signed Rep. Hinkle’s law prohibiting federal overreach into our Second Amendment-protected rights, including any federal ban on firearms,” Gianforte tweeted.
“I will always protect our #2A right to keep and bear arms,” the governor added.
The bill says that local and state authorities cannot enforce federal bans on guns, ammunition and magazines, The Associated Press reported.
It also prohibits state funding from being used to uphold any sort of gun ban that might come from the federal government. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/550103-montana-governor-signs-bill-nullifying-federal-gun-bans

“As a public health person, I think you can’t run away from that,” Fauci said on CNN’s “State of the Union” when host Dana Bash asked if gun violence is a “public health emergency.”
“I mean, in this last month, it’s just been horrifying,” replied Fauci, the U.S. government’s foremost infectious disease expert. “How can you say that’s not a public health issue?”
