Honestly yes?
Treat it like it is, a health problem. If you’re an addict why not just give them the real deal. All they’re going to do is find an alternative that is 90% more harmful to their health.

You’re right let’s ban guns and get all 800 million off the streets. Seems like a totally reasonable and doable undertaking.
Also since I put up my no trespassing and no stealing signs on my property all crime has magically stopped! I’m so glad the goverment made stealing illegal, now there will be no more theft ever

Definitely will be a boon to the ecosystem! I just wrote my post as a joke (I am terrible at hunting :-/ )

Man the hunting seasons are hard enough, imagine having to compete with natures perfect killing machine?

I had a miserable time here when they first started doing their hotpot out.
Server was some goon wearing a gold chain and a jersey. He messed up my drink order not once but twice times (each time more bewilderingly bringing out the SAME white wine and charging me for the the red I ordered) proceeded to refuse to sell a bottle of wine to our table while my party was stone cold sober.
Hot pot was alright, definitely not the best I’ve ever had but for the cost of it $32 for beef I expected a lot more.

Owner is a great guy too! Imports all of his wines from turkey, truly is a one of a kind experience

It’s not like we have castle doctrine in this state.. anytime you shoot someone you will be showing up in court and will have defend your reasoning for using lethal force. (source) I fail to see how any of the laws being added do anything to address our current issues with guns.
Also a duty to flee sounds like a nightmare, I live in a 1 bed room apartment. Where am I going? Out the third floor window? What if someone is being sexually assaulted or cannot flee? Is someone with a firearm obligated to flee even though they could intervene and prevent further injury?
Imo this reeks of gun grabbing and government overstep. most guns used in crimes are stolen or illegally obtained. so I fail to see how this will do anything other empower a state/law enforcement that has shown repeatedly they would rather see your kids shot, your property stolen, and criminals on the street than uphold their civic duties. (Goodluck with your 40 minute response times in some areas)
As for storage, am I now obligated to have a gun used for home defense locked in a safe disassembled? compared to a location where it can be reasonably deployed for self protection? What about ammo the way this law was written indicates that they have to be stored separately. Do I now have to own several safes for my individual magazines, ammo, and firearms?
In conclusion Rep. Mary Howard, Email: MHoward@leg.state.vt.us Phone: (802) 828-2228 Address: P.O. Box 6592, Rutland, VT 05702 You’re the epitome of a statist and are the type of neoliberal the has pushed a party agenda over policy that would benefit the majority of people.
