permissive laws, and background checks at gun shows are not required by the state. >> in 47 years, not once has the state attorney general's office, the city police, the sheriff's office, not once has the gun show been involved in any single thing or any criminal investigation has been brought forth that we have been involved in it. no agency. >> never. >> supporters propose background checks will save lives. with loose gunlaws, mont has the sixth highest rate in the country. >> i think there's a loft of that cowboy mentality around us.
