Blue or not, Vermont is one of the states with the least amount of gun regulation and, guess what? the lowest amount of gun-related crimes in the US. This kid needs to have his nose rubbed in those facts, as compared to what his life would be like in Chicago.

John Lott: "More Guns, Less Crime"

Read the statistics, kid. You are safer precisely because of the lack of "gun control", not because of it.

To say it again, an armed society is polite society.

Cars kill way more people a year than g s.

If it save one life....

Or are those lives any less important than those killed by guns?

And doctors and nurses kill hindreds of thousands of people a year, called iatrogenic deaths.

If it saves one life,

or are these lives any less important than those relatively few killed by guns?

Big deal. He may be 13 years old but that state has been electing Governors with the mentality of 13-year old kids for decades.

Kind of reminds me of an old 1969 TV series THE NEW PEOPLE about a group of young people who crash land on an island with an abandoned WW2 military base. In one episode they find an armory and demand guns to protect themselves.

One man. steals all the guns and is the only one with a gun. then he locks his gun in the armory with all the others and throws the key into the sea.
Remember, this came out after the anti-gun hysteria of the Bobby Kennedy killing when all TV show were extremely anti gun, anti-hunting.

He’s a little late to the party since VT just passed a ban on mags over 10 rounds.

I’ve never met a 13 year old that didn’t
know everything, and was very wise....

Vermont has always had Constitutional Carry and they have a very low Crime Rate.

Not sure if the fact that Vermont is about 95% Caucasian has anything to do with it though.

The last time they started talking about “revising” their Gun Laws there, the People of Vermont let the Legislature know it wasn’t a good idea.
