Because like a lot of other Federal infringements on states' rights, it uses coercion against the states' other interests for enforcement, and restricts intrastate commerce (which the feds have no Constitutional right to do).
It's a mistake to think of the Bill of Rights as unrelated clauses; they all support one another. Much as the 2nd Amendment supports the 1st Amendment, by giving you a means to defend your freedom of speech, the 10th Amendment supports the 2nd Amendment by saying "if our citizens want to sell each other guns, it is none of your damned Federal business."
But the feds aren't doing anything. All these 2nd Amendment challenges were initiated over state/local law. The only involvement of the federal government has been the courts. I don't see any infringement of states' rights.
I think they should leave then take away all the federal funding Montana gets as well as the military and you will see taxes go sky high to pay for things the federal government pays for. i doubt that anyone in montana who wants this has really looked at the big picture.
Unnecessary once the state has control of all the land and resources the feds have locked up.
Montana could not afford to maintain its roads on its own, let alone run itself. Well, run it self at anything near its current levels of subsistence. Its a state that takes in more than it gives out (sorry, Its a beautiful state and I love visiting, but facts are facts)

Once again...its held back by so much of its resources being locked up.
