Reply to comment by Ruggerio5 in self-defense effectively being banned in Vermont. by Northwoods01

I would think so. People need to really push back against this as fast as possible.

Guess the vt sub hates guns...it'll be an interesting conversation when they actually meet the locals. Vt has more guns than any of the surrounding states, and virtually no gun violence. This is not what we need to be worried about. How about some housing?

My guess is that most of these people moved here and are affiliated with anti gun or anti hunting groups. They absolutely do not care what the locals think.

It's not a "pure Vermonter" VS "Flatlander" situation. Most of our legislature is homegrown. Don't miss a chance to get a dig at transplants though right?

Most of legislature may be homegrown, but not most of the sponsors of the bill.

I count 3 from VT, 3 from NY, 1 ea from CA and CO. I don't know if it matters, but it seems just as relevant as most of the legislature being homegrown.

I'm sure if a bunch of conservatives from MS moved in, suddenly "home grown" would matter more.

Born and raised in rural Vermont. I’m strongly in favor of gun control.
