"I think in Montana we look at guns more as a tool, not unlike a pickup truck or a stove,” said Senator Tester. “The fact is, it's part of what we grew up with. It's part of our culture." Notwithstanding new studies that support Tester's truck control agenda, the senator has asked Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D - Nev) to pull the truck control provisions from comprehensive safety legislation headed for the Senate floor. While vehicle manufactures who have pushed for reasonable truck control (see www.wedontbuildpickups.com) continue to press the senator to introduce truck control amendments on the Senate floor, staff sources who do not wish to be identified because they are not authorized to speak on the matter, say Senator Tester is unlikely to do so.

Jon Tester Pulls Truck Control Bill
Senator Jon Tester (D - Mont.) acknowledged today that he's received significant push back from his constituents on his proposed truck control legislation. Senator Tester says that many constituents are concerned that "any sort of a ban is the first step to a bigger ban." The junior senator from Montana lumped pickup trucks, guns and stoves together in a far reaching interview with NBC News Special Correspondent and part year Big Timber, Montana resident Tom Brokaw.
