I guess there were some intentional communities in the Mad River Valley up on Prickly Mountain. I'm not sure how communal they were and I think they morphed into you regular HOA type structures. And also in the MRV, I guess there were some condos built at the top of Rolston Rd. where originally you would walk through every single one of them from end to end. Rumor has it it caused all sorts of problems with people not respecting the refrigerators/cupboards of others AND beds too. They walled off those through-doors and turned them into regular condos.

Yeah, good point. Pun intended but, I wonder if the author of the proposed legislation is shooting themselves in the foot with such a Draconian proposal. I mean, if your first pass at it is so far fetched, some folks might not even take you seriously and you end up doing yourself a disservice. Like if someone suggested making you dissemble the key fob to your car every time you got home in an effort to curb drunk driving wouldn't you be like 'yeah right, gimmie a break dude'.

It would be great to verify this with a link. If it's real proposed legislation, why not link it directly from https://legislature.vermont.gov/ because if this is real, I think it's a bit much. To me, it reads like it was written by someone who is not a gun owner and has no association with guns at all. It's weird, some non-gun owners seem so mystified by guns having all sorts of Boogie Man associations with them. And then, when they go shooting for the first time, it all changes and they see that guns can be both a utilitarian tool and a part of a super fun sport. All that being said, I'm not some Wack-A-Do gun nut. Those people are out there, I know that. They get all tribal about gun ownership and throw reason out the window. I'm not one of them and I think it is important to acknowledge that there is a massive gun violence problem for sure. But like I said, if this is real proposed legislation, I think it goes Wack-A-Do too far.
