I am calling for your help. As you probably know VT is under assault. The state house just passed a bill with a high cap mag ban among other things. It has to go back to the senate which already passed a version of the bill without the mag ban.
We need a couple senators to flip their vote now that the mag ban has been added to stop at least the mag ban portion of the bill.
Here are some of the senators that could be emailed and swayed to change their vote. Please email them and tell them that you aren't in support of the mag ban added to S.55. Vt people please add more emails that you think could flip. I looked for Dems in rural districts whose constituents wouldn't support this ban. The progressive/socialists of Chittenden county are too far gone.

Please and thank you from all of us in VT!
The Senate version does not have the magazine ban, and so has to go to some kind of conference committee to hammer out the details. We need the Senate to reject the magazine capacity ban.
Vermont's economy is based heavily on tourism. They are also having some issues with people leaving the state. Tell the legislators and the governor that you're not going to travel in Vermont if they violate their own people's rights so cavalierly.
Also let the governor know he should reverse his betrayal and veto the bill.

Too bad. Vermont was a libertarian state for ages. It’s shifting Leftward as more and more Massholes move in.
Like mother earth, newsweak, time, u.s.news and world report, vogue, cosmo? Those magazines? They’re more damaging than any 30-rndr I may or may not have.
Oh. Not like “Good Housekeeping” magazine?
I was wondering why.
A clear Violation of the Commerce Clause, I’m sure Sessions is preparing a lawsuit right now to have all these unconstitutional gun laws across the country voided for interfering with “Interstate Commerce”. If he ever wakes up that is.
Don’t live in Vermont, else I would. My biggest complaint is that all these infringements need to be thrown out by the courts and if they want to rewrite and propose repeal or amendment of the constitution, do so. Don’t infringe upon it.
One of the freest and best gun law states down the tubes. But they are flaming liberal democrats...Sanders and Leahy...so not surprising. Dirty shame.
Does this pertain to the lever action rifles like the Henry? The article says it does, but isn’t exactly clear either.
They hold ten rounds in the tube, though 11 total rounds if there’s one in the chamber. Is it their intent to ban Henry lever action rifles?? Also the term “high capacity magazine” is sort of misleading in that there isn’t really such a thing as a “low capacity magazine”; the idea here seems to be banning any firearm that has a magazine of any capacity.
You don’t have to live in Vermont. Let them know your travel plans no longer include Vermont if they do this. Their economy is heavily biased towards tourism. Hit them in their wallet.
“It’s shifting Leftward as more and more Massholes move in.”
Nope!
Vermont is full of New Yorkers.
.
This was discussed in the Senate. It was agreed that the law does ban lever action 22lr firearms that hold more than 10. To make it clear, that means those firearms cannot be passeed down to the owners inheritors. They are forfeited to the state upon the owners passing.
And just how do they know who all has ‘em. Like people are going to voluntarily turn in the old .22

How are they going to enforce this law..go house to house looking for the banned magazines?
Very selectively and inconsistently.
They will use this law as an add-on charge when someone is detained for other reasons. Unpaid traffic fines might be sufficient, or a routine traffic stop that results in a vehicle search. Or even a noise complaint from an offended next-door neighbor.
The possibilities are endless.
I’m thinking if I convert my ar to 458 socom, my mags will all be compliant.
That wasn’t my goal but there it is.
We need to ban high-capacity news. When the constitution was created there was manual printing presses. High-capacity news is dangerous and no-one should be able to watch it.
The venerable Marlin 60 (arguably the most popular .22) tubular internal magazine held 18 rounds from 1960 to about 1990 when they cut the magazine down to 14.
Are they all going to illegal?
Yes, the model 60 will be illegal as will the 10/22.
I think existing ones will be grandfathered. You will not be allowed to pass them to your heirs upon your death.
