If you want to start adding ridiculous things to the constitution, then the second amendment will not be infringed. We that own guns can carry whatever we want. I’m so done with liberal nonsense.

Vermont constitution is what's in question, which does not specify militias at all.

Article 16 of the Vermont constitution

"That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and the State--and as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; and that the military should be kept under strict subordination to and governed by the civil power."

I know the original person said 2nd Amendment but that has nothing to do with altering the Vermont constitution.

You get that you don't need to add that to the State Constitution because it's already in the Federal Constitution, right? If a state tried to override the second amendment, the Supreme Court would throw out that override.

Folks are in favor of adding the reproductive amendment because the Supreme Court has essentially said "states should decide this", and so now states are doing exactly that.

AFAIK the slavery amendment is more for show/principle, and does fall under what could be categorized as liberal nonsense. Although, it never does any harm to make sure no one is keeping slaves, for any reason.

Plenty on nonsense out there but a vote ‘yes’ on this one should be right up your alley. This locks in a right, prevents government over-reach, removes a restriction so we can govern our own lives, ensures personal accountability, etc etc…

I understand the constitutional pro 2A position, but I don’t understand why many of the same people oppose a small-government, pro-choice answer to abortion. What’s up with that?

You sound like a fucking moron. We already have one of the most explicit enumerations on the right to keep and bear arms in the Vermont constitution. Article 16. I'm fully in favor of that as am I in favor of both of the propositions mentioned by OP.

You should educate yourself.

You do realize many liberals own firearms, right?

That's where you're wrong.
