Will Gianforte introduce a bill legalizing assault?

[Beet]

As the assault candidate and a lawmaker, Gianforte can put his newfound powers and unique perspective to work for all of us. I for one applaud his assault and think we need more of it. Second, he can introduce a bill legalizing the breaking of the law. I for one applaud his lawbreaking as well. Never have we had such a special lawmaker as him. The people of Montana are to be commended.

[dead0man]

why was he just charged with assault and not battery too?  He didn't just attempt the violence, he completed the action.

[JA]

Only against reporters

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

No clue. I won't even pretend that I have any insight into what passes for minds in Raptor Jesus nuts like Gianforte, especially ones who are also violent criminals.

[MarkD]

Is there a federal law that bans what he did? He is a member of Congress, not the Montana legislature.
Oh, never mind. Your question is blatantly rhetorical and derogatory anyway.

Assault in a MPC (Model Penal Code) state, like Montana or NY, is Battery in a Common Law state like Wyoming or Florida.

What is called Assault in CL states is called "Menacing" in some MPC states.

Those are just the common law terms. Lots of states have merged assault and battery by statute or define them differently. I would hazard a guess that Montana does not follow the common law on this point.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

No. He will assault other congresspeople, but he doesn't want to give them extra encouragement to assault him back.

Where's the challenge in that?

Assaulterforte doesn't want a challenge. Just the assault itself.

Is he afraid the Gianforte Grapple will be countered by the Full Nelson Mandela?

Probably

[Lincoln Republican]

Gianforte belongs in jail.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Gianforte belongs in jail.

I'd take that deal in exchange for plutocrat Mitt getting the guillotine.

[Maxwell]

Assaulting lib cucks should get you a free MAGA hat, and Gianforte will introduce that bill on the floor.

What if you are the one who cucks the libtards?

[Confused Democrat]

What would he name the bill?

The right to defend yourself act?

[The Arizonan]

I wish that Greg Gianforte or any other Republican would introduce a bill decriminalizing marijuana or a bill restoring voting rights for people convicted of non-violent felonies.

How about a bill or something that, if you were arrested on some bogus charge and then acquitted or never even charged with a crime, the arrest record or anything relevant to it would not be public record or be expunged?

I am not being sarcastic at all here.

No, something more blunt. Right to Thwart Reporters Act maybe.

There's federal law for this but only applies in areas where there is federal jurisdiction. So technically no, federal law doesn't ban what he did; but he could hypothetically push for a law to legalize assault on federal land.
