Vermont Gov. Caves, Signs Ban on Private Gun Sales After Campaigning on No New Gun Control
Breitbart ^ | 16 Apr 2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 04/18/2018 3:10:26 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) has caved and signed a ban on private on gun sales after running a gubernatorial campaign in which he rejected the need for more gun control.

The legislation banning private gun sales also bans the sale of “high capacity” magazines and bump stocks. And it raises the age for long gun purchases to 21 throughout the state.

The Washington Free Beacon reports that the “high capacity” magazine ban limits rifle magazines to 10 rounds and handgun magazines to 15 rounds.

Scott pointed to a foiled attack on Vermont’s Fair Haven Union High School as justification for placing new gun controls on law-abiding Vermont residents.  He did not mention that the alleged 18-year-old, would-be Fair Haven attacker purchased his shotgun at retail, not privately. Moreover, his allegedly plan did not includes bump stocks or “high capacity” magazines.

Scott’s support for gun control comes after he rejected calls for gun control during his gubernatorial campaign.

There are only 34 native Vermonters.

Everyone else.. literally, everyone else is from New York.

They evidently need a border wall. And we probably need to do the same thing in CA.

Headshake.

“Scott’s support for gun control comes after he rejected calls for gun control during his gubernatorial campaign.”

What a disgusting, phony, fraudulent prick.

Too bad about that NY slime mold infestation.

Vermont’s full of stupid Democrats. I remember the legalized public nudity...I think it was Burlington. The only people who took advantage of it were elderly men. Didn’t work out quite the way they’d hoped. Idiots. I used to live up near Fellows Balls, I mean Bellows Falls, Vermont. They called it the latter because so many homosexual pedos frequented a couple of hotels there. One for the females (butterfly kisses) and one for the males(nambla).

Hickenlooper did the same thing in Colorado. Nobody gave a damn.

If you need more than 10 bullets to put down an invader in your home/fortress, you have no business handling guns. I am 78 and can shoot inside a 6 inch circle at 30 feet with my 9mm. Learn to shoot, practice, instead of whining about how many bullets you need in your magazine.

I would not whine. I’d move. I can do pretty much what I like where I live. Freedom is very important to me.

You're in favor a magazine limits, then? Really?

I am 78 and can shoot inside a 6 inch circle at 30 feet with my 9mm.

Pray tell, why do you need a 10 shot magazine, then? Would you be in favor a 6 round limit?

4 round limit?

Single shot only?

Very rare to have 5 invaders invading a home of a middle class individual. Never heard of such incident, and I watch reality TV regularly. If you are a rich person, and worried about 5 invaders, hire a bodyguard, or give up the drug trade.

How about 5 invaders? They have large groups down here at the border.
