Yeah, vermont was kind of an anomaly. We are one of the most liberal, left leaning, tree hugging, granola crunching, hippy dippy states in the country but somehow we have gotten away with 200+ years of absolutely no gun control. I guess all good things must end. I thought we had the muscle to overturn it but only a relatively small contingent showed up at the Capitol to protest it.
Makes me think alot of dyed in the wool vermonters around here feel their bolt action hunting rifle is well and good enough, which is fine. There is an ongoing court case but its stalled at the moment afaik.
MAGPUL made my day though, they showed up to the Capitol in montpelier with a truckload of 30rd magazines on the eve of the "historic signing" and handed them out like Thanksgiving turkeys. Lol. Which is alot more than the NRA did, which was nothing. Then, just as you'd expect, as soon as that got signed in they hit the governor's desk with more Gun Bills trying to institute long waiting periods, Age restrictions, etc... at least he vetoed those. Count my blessings I guess.
Yep, we are starting to feel the Bern here in VT.... just to twist the knife a lil more it was our Republican governor who got the ball rolling on all this new VT gun control, after making several televised promises he'd never do so. Good ol Flip Flop Phil, made sure to report that he voted for Biden on TV too. It's starting to feel like we are on the losing side.
