i am calling on all montanans to begin firing their guns wildly into the air, preferably in and around populated areas https://t.co/pYs7VCDdUo

If anybody in Montana has the capability to shoot down something at 60,000 feet I’d argue that’s a bigger issue than a balloon https://t.co/jyrv3TitHR

Yes. The good people of Montana can surely use their guns to hit a target about 10 miles or so high in the sky. What an absolute moron.https://t.co/3h2Ww3GNfd

That balloon is higher than you are. Do you think the average Montanan has missiles in their garage?
