Burlington, VT Proposes Seizure Of "Assault Weapons" & Magazines

[Kevlar]

At its next meeting on Monday, January 7, the Burlington City Council will consider a gun ban that targets possession of semi-automatic firearms and magazines by law-abiding gun owners. This proposed charter change calls for the seizure of all semi-automatic “assault weapons” and magazines by the police, and not only violates the current state firearms preemption statute, but is an irresponsible attack on the property and rights of law-abiding gun owners in Vermont, opening the door to other harmful restrictions of your civil liberties. This City Council meeting will be held at the Burlington City Hall at 7:00 PM on Monday, January 7.

wow

 

[warwickben]

Yeah I don't see any cop that would do that in VT in there right mind.

People are gonna get killed before all this shits over

 

[warwickben]

Sad thing, I'm thinking some thing like the Shot heard around the world.

 

[GMwhiteguy]

Yeah, just come by the house, I'll leave it on the porch for you.

 

[Satcom]

And for all the times I've heard it would never happen in this country? F**k you!

 

[Trouble]

Hopefully any confiscations are met with force, that goes on a national scale too.

"Do you feel at all that it impinges on the second amendment?" asked FOX 44/ABC 22.

"Well sure it does. I mean but there's no constitutional right that is unfettered or unregulated," says Blais.

Well at least he makes no bones about impinging...

Ha, so much for all of the "free state" bullshit that gets thrown out there when people from MA talk about our challenges. I just don't understand how the country has seemed to go full retard over that school shooting. This crap is really snowballing out of control quickly as evidenced by these types of stories appearing daily. I wonder if there is a larger scale "plan" to create "go-time" situation that will cement gun control in place permanently? I'm sure if mass confiscation is implemented there will be several individuals that will have show downs with the gestapo, which they will ultimately lose because there is no organized militia at this point. What I see happening is the few resisters will be made into examples and it will make most of the rest fall in line.

Or galvanize a sizable resistance force. Sometimes people forget that freedom is really ingrained in US citizens, we just may need a wake up call for the rest.

Or it will drive the resistance even more. I figure that at a minimum there are 50 million of us in this country, if just 5 million or 10 percent resist on a physical level, that's a lot of blood in the streets. But I think the resistance will be higher than 10 percent. I talk a good game but I don't know what Ill do when that day comes.

Totally agree. I hope citizens won't meet the cops at their door with their bare bums facing the door.

Hopefully yep.

 

[Skeeter]

Wow...just wow.

 

[warwickben]

I would call family and tell them good bye, then call the side of my family that are cops and tell them I'm standing my ground.99% of them told me they would be held up in the house and walk off the job if there was a gun grab plan.

I'd probably just hide my stuff since i dont have much ammo, and tell them I tossed it in the lake if I can't have what I worked for no one will have it.

I hope they have about $1million bucks put away to pay their attorneys to defend the lawsuits filed by gun owning citizens.....maybe they should check with D.C. and Chicago first.

Confiscations should not be met with litigation.

Time for everyone to give thought about a secondary cache somewhere safe and hidden for when the grabbers come... (that is of course unless you go out in a blaze of glory).

 

[Knob Creek]

Group "Boating Accident" in Lake Champlain?

 

[MA_Shooter]

At least they don't have a registry of firearms like MA.

 

[second]

Get together with like minded individuals and have a plan.

So, it's okay for cities and towns in America to violate civil rights? If that is the message that the government is sending, then I think it should be loud and clear. There are a lot of groups that would like to carry out their racist agendas with the green light from the government.

What good is a secondary cache hidden away if you don't use up your first cache? You won't use your second one either, but they will be nice to look at when you visit them.

 

[Trouble]

Any attempt to confiscate should be met by a very public and swift trial for treason in the center of town for all to see.

True, but I like to take the Boy Scout route and be prepared.. If you are detained off of your property and then they send someone to confiscate while you are not there. Could be a lot of scenarios that dictate having a secondary (especially ammo)... Always nice to have a backup plan.

I agree. What is the point of hiding them if you will never use them again, or even be able to have another living soul know you have them? I say either use them, or give them up, that IS the ONLY choice there is!

 

[Pilgrim]

......not only violates the current state firearms preemption statute.....

another NE city that doesn't give a shit about it's state laws...or is so ignorant as to not know about it.

Ok, I guess you make a very valid point!
