Vermont on the verge of dismembering the 2nd Amendment

This is really upsetting, I used to love visiting Vermont, and always appreciated the gun laws there

ComeGet · Mar 29, 2018

Wow. And to think that Vermont was on my list of possible places to move, based on their gun laws.

No more.

What's also annoying is that Vermont was a great counterpoint when arguing that state gun control laws don't increase public safety.

Damn. Guess someone's got some national aspirations...

Liberal Vermont and conservative/liberation New Hampshire were great examples of how guns didn't have to politicized. Oh well.

I thought Vermont was supposed to be one of the few gun-friendly states in the northeast? Guess not...

They used to be at least. They used to be the only constitutional carry state at one point, and still have it. When I lived in MA, I considered moving to either NH and VT to escape the MA-craziness.

Well if there were any state where a revolt against guns laws might happen, Vermont would be a possibility. I don't see the rural folks tolerating the urbanites on this crap.

Yeah, but Vermont is a weird place. They are all caricatures of themselves- they all drive VW buses or Subaru Outbacks, wear tie dye, and are named Granola Moonbeam or Sunflower Happythoughts. It is an entire state inhabited by Cheech and Chong wannabees that could spend a good portion of a Saturday wondering if their Snicker's bar is all organic and if it has a small carbon footprint.

Vermont, home of Ben, Jerry and Bernie Sanders.

That state has given a whole new meaning to the "Green Mountain Boys".

What gave me pause on moving to Vermont was seeing comments repeatedly on the schism between Burlington and the rest of the, mostly rural, state. There were indications that the city was slowly growing in influence with the influx of the lefties.

Looks like we're about there now, just as Northern Virginia is taking over the rest of the state and the liberal crunchies are invading and diluting Idaho.

I'm eyeing WV, but wary of NoVa and MD bleeding over to the west.

The Vermont Senate concurred with the House and the governor says he will sign. It's done.

Unbelievable

What part of "shall not be infringed" don't these folks understand? Apparently they haven't taught the meaning of "not" and "infringed" in school for about 84 years, going back to the NFA.

Just look at the head of the snake.

Gotcha. That's why I give more support to non-venomous species. :patriot:

Just saw that tomorrow Recoil Magazine and Magpul are teaming up and fighting back. Tomorrow in front of the Vermont state house they're going to give away 1200 30rd PMAGs. They're calling it the "Green Mountain Airlift".

I think I'm going to go buy another Magpul t-shirt now.

Well at least it will give us another shot at a court case, sad.

This is a very true statement. Libertarian in some ways and just very Liberal in others. I moved in the last year from Maryland to Vermont. Mostly because of family, but in part because after being Harford County born and raised Maryland had become way to liberal and way too crowded. Its a shame... VT is passing all these laws because they caught a kid with mental health issues about to shoot up a school (or at least suspected of being about too) and the typical knee jerk reaction began. The governor who in the past was pretty 2A friendly has said he will sign the legislation and it landed on his desk yesterday so I guess it has all changed in the matter of weeks. Its sad. Feels like Maryland except for constitutional carry. And here that means State Constitution. If it wasn't in the state constitution and held up by the State courts they would have outlawed that too. In some ways it is worst then Maryland now. No more FTF private sales of even long guns with the new laws.

Now you have:

Thirteen-year-old Vermont gubernatorial candidate Ethan Sonneborn, a Democrat, wants the state to pass a gun control bill, and he wants to be sure an “assault weapons” ban is added to it.

Maybe it'll end up as another Children's Crusade, with all the little idiots being sold into slavery.

Well, one can dream . . .
