Candidate Articles:

Article #1: Proposed H.706 (firearms regulation - illegal under the Vermont Constitution): AN ACT RELATING TO PROHIBITING THE POSSESSION OF FIREARMS AND OTHER DANGEROUS OR DEADLY WEAPONS ON ANY SCHOOL PROPERTY This (and the mirroring Senate bill S.178 by Don Collins) would have completely destroyed self-defence for families of school-age children AND hunters across the state! An editorial was written to 31 newspapers by Bob DePino regarding S.178, and only 4 actually printed it.

Article #2: Editorial on S.178 (Senate Version of H.706) by Bob DePino. The anti-gun politicians are looking for every loophole to push gun control, confiscation, and restriction on lawful use of Article 16. NEVER let your guard down!

Article #3: Proposed H.735 (firearms regulation - illegal under the Vermont Constitution): This massive piece of gun control legislation was attached inside a 'fee' bill to slide it through Montpelier without anyone noticing. Gun Owners of Vermont not only noticed, but fought it all the way to the end. If you haven't followed the history and sordid past of this bill, visit the Gun Owners of Vermont Facebook page and jump over to the FILE section. Many downloadable documents outlining this unconstitutional bill will give you the details. As of May 10, 2014 Act 191 is LAW. Anyone ACCUSED of 'domestic violence' under a temporary Relief from Abuse Order (unadjudicated - Violation of Article 10), can now have the their house illegally searched without a warrant (violation of Article 11), ALL items that can be deemed 'weapons' (guns, ammunition, knives, baseball bats, bows, axes, etc) will be confiscated by Law Enforcement (violation again of Article 11) and held at the ACCUSED's repayment of fines when a permanent order is lifted.

Article #4: Letter from Cindy Ellen Hill, Esq.: Why H.735 is unconstitutional and yet it still passed by the incumbents in Montpelier. H.735 opens up the Pandora's Box on Illegal Search and Seizure.
