In essence, the issue in Montana dates back to 2016, when the city council in Missoula passed a local ordinance requiring background checks on all private sales in the city. While Montana does have a firearms preemption law that prevents municipalities from enacting their own local gun laws, a judge last year upheld the ordinance, ruling that the city has the authority to prevent sales to felons and other prohibited persons, even if state law prevents municipalities from "regulating the sale or transfer" of firearms.
