Proposed Legislation Could Ban All Ammunition in Vermont! |
Thursday, January 28, 2010 |
Please Contact Your State Legislators Today! The House Fish, Wildlife & Water Resources Committee is currently considering legislation (H. 484) which could potentially ban the sale and use of virtually all ammunition in Vermont. The bill would require the Secretary of Natural Resources to set up a program to identify and ban the distribution of certain toxic chemicals. During questioning before the House committee regarding the potential impact of H. 484, Department of Environmental Conservation Deputy Commissioner Justin Johnson said that it was foreseeable that the enactment of this legislation could outlaw the ammunition you use for hunting, plinking, or self-defense. Following Commissioner Johnson's testimony, proponent Charity Carbine of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG), testified and did not challenge the commissioner's assertion that H. 484 could result in the banning of ammunition. Please call your state lawmakers TODAY and respectfully urge them to oppose H. 484! Contact information for your legislators can be found by clicking here. |
Sort of like how the EPA just cooked up the definition of CO2 as a "pollutant", thereby making a "polluter" of every creature on Earth.
It's nuts.
Thanks for the link. I read almost 4 pages of the 18 pdf pages. They were talking about "chemical" defined as they pleased. I searched for lead, but I couldn't find it, although lead is a ubiquitous element. Elemental lead is one of the least reactive elements found in nature. These clowns know just enough science and toxicology as to be worse than useless. They just cause needless trouble.
You gotta be kidding. Vermont is already among the most pro-gun states in the USA. That honorable tradition hasn't been negated even by the recent influx of Brooklyn-born socialists like Bernie Sanders and Manhattan-born "aristocrats" like Howard Dean.
So maybe what's really needed is for teams of rural Vermonters to go door to door in Massachusetts to explain why guns are good!
“Following Commissioner Johnson’s testimony, proponent Charity Carbine of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG), testified and did not challenge the commissioner’s assertion that H. 484 could result in the banning of ammunition.”
Well...isn’t that a COINCIDENCE, at one time (in his Marxist formative years) Barack Obama also worked for Public Research Interest Group.
1984 Obama works for three months as a community organizer for the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), a Ralph Nader offshoot trying to mobilize minority students at City College of New York about the importance of recycling at City College of New York in Harlem.
City College of new York is known for hatching four famous Marxist professors, Irving Kristol, Nathan Glazer, Daniel Bell and Irving Howe, who owned or published leftist magazines like The New Leader, Commentary, Dissent, and The Public Interest.
Well, well, well....will wonders ever cease?
These obamamaniacs just keep getting more and more clever and devious, dont’t they?
Let’s just take away the rights of law-abiding citizens of Vermont to procure ammunition for regular guns (not semi-automatic weapons) by adopting some seemingly mundane “Fish and Widlife” oriented ordinance (no pun intended).
Well, OBVIOUSLY, those proposing this legislation have greatly underestimated how fiercely Vermonters are willing to defend their own right to bear (and USE) arms!
This will go over REAL well in VT ...
I went to college in VT - deer hunting is a rite of passage into manhood ther ...
This will go over like a lead brick ...
It's taking more than 10 years and it is happening under the "green" agenda.
Yup, started with seat belt laws and helmet laws. Many here on FREErepublic vociferously defended the laws.
Good!
That would mean more for the rest of us!!! :p
My alma mater, chemistry major, free tuition, short commute and the GI Bill, I could deal with it. Academically, CCNY had a great reputation prior to open admissions.
RKBA is a closed-case issue in VT; their supreme court has made this very clear in very simple terms. I don’t see how such a ban could possibly stand there.
They must be putting that funny stuff in the Ben & Jerry’s.
Warms my heart just thinking about it.
I will resist the temptation to insult you, your family, your ancestors, your cultural heritage, your neighbors and your home state as you have mine.
Rather let me suggest that you should go to wherever you got your education and demand your money back. Alternatively, you could sue your parents for raising such an ill mannered fool.
Let us hope so. But EPA environmentalism has been allowed to overrule long standing property rights and the rule of law in the rest of the US.

This link will take you to a video of the one and only “Big O” in my book. If you look closely you can see that a lot of very famous performers were happy to play backup for him. I cherish his memory and if people start calling that worthless Muslim usurper the Big O I am going to start “Crying”. Please call him something else, have pity on an old man.
