I wonder if Scott realizes how this going to effect him long after he's not governor.
Almost to a person , the people I know from Vermont are great folks,.. till you cross them.
Maybe he got enough Bloomberg money to move out of state and buy a nice place.
Had dinner with a good ole boy from Vermont last night. Asked him if they had rounded up a noose for Scott yet. His response "who the hell is Scott?" I then mentioned the laws he wants to pass and his response was "nothing that will affect me or my lifestyle." Were doomed.

In Vermont that might mean he just plans on doing whatever he wants.

Yah, but Vermont. Wow. Just wow.

And the governor isn't even a carpetbagger like Sanders (who imported his liberalism from NY), Scott was born and raised in Vermont, so he's been surrounded by peaceful and law-abiding gun owners all his life.
As of today at 5:00 pm. , He hasn't signed it.
Article was on Fox news.
The demonstrations were also mentioned.
It seems that the bills are separate...he might leave ( I hope) the std magazines alone.
ggboy
He already has a public signing ceremony scheduled for this Wednesday. One bill bans private sales, under 21 sales, standard cap magazines, and bump stocks. Another is so-called ERPO, and a third from what I can tell looks like a state version of the federal law prohibiting possession of firearms from those accused or convicted of domestic violence.
Does VT have line-item-veto? If there has been enough pushback on mags, and since the legal take is it's pointless as it's unenforceable, I wouldn't be suprised if he strikes the mag part to appease the resistance, knowing that someone will follow-up with a confiscation act.

The city of Montpelier may consider allowing non-U.S. citizens to vote in city elections. After fielding questions about why legal residents who aren't citizens can't vote, City Clerk John Odum says he's planning a public meeting on the issue next week.

The NEK isn't really Vermont. Or maybe it's the real Vermont, and the rest of the state has already joined NY. It's like Western Maryland, versus Baltimore.Well, I'm late to the party. This is screwed up. I always liked Vermont. I've always wanted to live there. But now I'm rethinking this.
I have some land in the NEK. Family in Jericho and Royalton. I just wanted to be able to shoot, and be left alone. But wtf has happened? Does everyone come from NY and MA?
