"Republicans are frauds!"

In a stark reversal Vermont governor Phil Scott (R) signed a sweeping new gun-control bill into law on Wednesday.
To shouts of "traitor" and "BS," Scott signed S. 55, which institutes sweeping new gun-control measures. The law bans the sale of any firearms to most adults under 21, bans the sale of rifle magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds and handgun magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds, bans private sales of used firearms unless facilitated by a federally licensed gun dealer, and bans the sale and possession of bump-fire stocks. Anyone convicted of breaking the provisions of the law could face up to a year in prison or $1,000 in fines.
The sweeping new gun-control legislation was signed by Scott despite Vermont's low crime rate. In 2016, the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting found only six firearms murders in the entire state—two committed with handguns, two with rifles, one with a shotgun, and one with an unknown firearm. There were also two murders committed with knives.
The governor's signature comes despite previous comments he made during his 2016 election campaign when he told Vermont Public Radio he didn't believe Vermont needed new gun laws.
"I don’t believe that we need more gun restrictions in Vermont at this time," Scott told the news station. "I think we should enforce the ones we have. I think we should focus more on safety and gun education, but also addressing the violence problem that is systemic across the country—and I don't have the answers for that, but that's what's driving this frustration, this outrage. And it's alarming, the horrific acts are alarming. But from my standpoint, I don't believe we need to change our gun laws in Vermont. [A background check requirement on private gun sales] is not something I would support."
PING!
Does VT have a recall provision in the state constitution?
That’s hard to do when you have Marxists on the Supreme Court who threw out our Constitution by 1913 and believe that humans are slaves for the State and people have no dignity and no free will (God is Dead). People are dehumanized—only a “means to an end” (Marxism).
We have a godless Vice System, one that promotes slavery (theft/socialism), sodomy and baby-killing so it corrupts the people and normalizes vice (satanism/Marxism/total removal of Natural Law (our Constitution)).
There hasn’t been “justice” since we all allowed the bribed Pres. Wilson to eliminate Rule of Law and put in Rule of Rothschild’s/Oligarchy.
As Cicero stated, without “Just Law” civil society will be destroyed, so we have to restore the Constitution back into a “Justice” system before we can get any “justice” (freedom).
We are slaves of the unconstitutional “system” put in by the psychopathic elites by 1913 and until all the Marxists on our courts are removed and put in prison for treason, nothing can be done.
These SOBs are going absolutely NUTS!
Did Soros send the RINO traitor a me$$age or did he just get a warning?
Or both?
That is ambitious. It would take a while to fix the Judicial rogue elements even at that rate.
slaves?
I’m not going there. I’m 70 and will not comply.
Is that surprising today? smile.
It may be a sign of where we are.
He signed it on April 10th.
My ancestors, founders of Vermont, are spinning in their graves.
Clintonian word parsing in his "promise", notice the words "at this time".
Ten minutes later is another time.
Has VT had anyone good since Coolidge, and he was governor of MA.
These types will get their $upport from dimocrats. I may be wrong but can’t dims vote in Republican primaries, but Repubs aren’t allowed to vote in dim primaries?
Slow? Yes.
But I had not seen it in other news sources before today. Is that a surprise?
"Republicans are frauds!"
Wrong. They want us dead. You can make book on that.
Aren’t they all?
Just another example of an R doing what Rs do best.
Betrayal.
Appeal
Republican in name only ! Turncoat bastard . Good luck enforcing private sales rule jackoff....Vermont is a pretty screwed up state...has been for quite awhile.
Screw slave states. Move to America.
LOL, the next time the LEO’s get a criminal in a corner in VT., I’m sure the Perp will only have a 10 round magazine. Riiiiiight.
......last research I did on this subject we had impeached only a couple judges in the entire history of the country.
My reading tells me that the forefathers intended this tool be used MUCH MUCH more than it is.
I still remember when Vermont had NO gun control laws and NO murders.
Not that I know of SG-darling.But the pro-gun groups have filed a law suit citing the laws are against the state constitution.
It’s a long and expensive fight; the gun/2A membership groups are small and not well funded. CT’s CCDL suit failed to be heard; cost 1M bucks; that kind of money isn’t here.
It’s infuriating. The nose of the camel is under the tent.We’re ranked #9, in the 10 best states to live in, though.
