Bullock Admits FAILURE:  1 In 4 Sex Offenders Go Unregistered

SHOCKER: ‘Crisis’ as 26% of convicted sex offenders not identified on the required sex offender registry. Attorney General Steve Bullock, responsible for the Sexual or Violent Offender Registry, admits failure. “The buck stops here for running the registry,” Bullock confesses.

HELENA — Danger lurks in our communities as a state audit reveals Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock failed to keep the Sexual or Violent Offender Registry updated with current information.

As a result, the audit reveals one in four convicted sex offenders in Montana is not properly listed in the state Sexual or Violent Offender Registry. The registry informs law enforcement and the public where potentially dangerous offenders currently reside.

“Offenders who fail to submit their annual verification letter within 15 days are not automatically flagged in SVOR in such a way that makes their overdue status available to law enforcement or the public,” the report notes. Bullock is supposed to flag overdue offenders.

Bullock joined D.C. anti-gunners in opposing self defense gun bill

Over the objections of anti-gun Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock, legislators in 2009 passed HB 228, a new self-defense statute protecting citizens’ right of self-defense.

“The new statute squarely puts the law in the hands of the citizens, by plainly stating they have no duty to retreat if attacked in a place where they have a right to be. The law also allows armed citizens to use force or threaten the use of force when he or she reasonably believes an attack is
about to occur, or to stop an attack already in progress,” Daily Paul reports.

“Many of our members are Montana sportsmen and gun owners,” said American Tradition Partnership Montana Director Doug Lair.

“Steve Bullock tried to strip Montanans of their right to defend themselves in their homes, farms and ranches. That’s the worst way to violate property rights, by making our homes ‘safe work zones’ for violent criminals,” said Lair.
