Guns are a part of Vermont. They have been since before any of us. They are in the VT constitution MUCH more clearly than the US. The majority of Vermonters and Vermont families have guns. The people who don’t are not from vermont and are trying to change Vermont. It’s that simple, if you don’t like where you moved (or assume ur parents moved since most of the anti gun posts are 15 year olds) then probably go somewhere that is more in line with that.

Can’t we just let people do what the fuck they want like we have for 260 years successfully?

Gay marriage? Go for it Change genders? Do it up Abort a fetus? Have at it Pray to some fucked up god and start your own religion? We wrote the manual on it Never talk to a person again and be a hermit? Why not Walk around naked? Don’t forget to carry a sweater for when you get cold Carry an AR at the store? Sure Ride a bike in January? Could do it

The point is NH says live free or die, WE FUCKING LIVE IT! Stop trying to change that it fucking works!

Right but free is free. All of those things were expanded freedom. You are revoking freedom. And I’ll pose it to you. Who is going to protect you when the massive arms stockpile on the right and the militias they are forming comes to the door? I don’t want to have guns for that, but I can tell you that 3 weeks before 2020 I bought 3 guns and a bunch of ammo, and I can tell you I was armed during that period of unrest. While I know that from your standpoint more guns isn’t the solution, in the end it is most of the time. The cats out of the bag. You can’t round up all the guns in the state let alone the country. There are a billion in the country and over a million in the state. The only thing we as individuals can do to be safer is to not be an easy target. Learn to shoot. Get a defense gun for the home. You don’t have to open carry, and you don’t have to be afraid. But you have to at least accept that the world is unpredictable and being ready is a good thing.
