I used to live in Vermont. I am liberal. I carried concealed everywhere. I find this an overreaction. Did I mention I am liberal? Vermont’s gun problems are minor compared to red states’.

I'm also a life-long leftist. I think many of these folks think that giving the state and 1% a monopoly on force is somehow progressive. Or they have the misconception that disarming everyone but the cops will somehow "hurt the conservatives." Identity politics is poison.

if you're a leftist you should know the law. These proposals will fail under the Vermont constitution AND under the US constitution. The most recent court decision regarding 2nd amd was NY Rifle and Pistol ASSO where the court held that you have a constitutional right to carry out of the home. As such these proposals will have to fail. No different from passing trigger laws about abortion. They can be passed and enrolled on the books but not enforced, or worse if the states stupid enough to enforce them it'll get held illegal.
