We recently spoke with Montana's attorney general for an update on his nationwide efforts to defend the Second Amendment.

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen made time to talk to Guns.com at SHOT Show ‘25 and was able to double down on that for SHOT '26.

Here are some time stamps if you want to jump ahead:

00:45 Why does Montana care about Hawaii? (Wolford v. Lopez)
03:50 Mexico vs American gun industry (Estados Unidos Mexicanos v. Smith & Wesson)
05:15 Blue states looking to establish PLCAA exemptions.
08:01 Last line of 2A defense: Republican state AGs
09:15 NFA reform and where states stand in that.

AG Knudsen is a prominent advocate for gun rights, not only in Montana but across the country, and we value his contributions to the fight for 2A rights and thank him for his time.
