Additional Comments: From 2013: Sponsored S.32: The ultimate gun ban bill ever proposed in Vermont.
So unconstitutional and restrictive Diane Feinstein would have been proud, it was PULLED from the floor after much public backlash.
Make no mistake, he will try again, and again…
Wants the Burlington charter changes.
2015: Universal Background Checks introduced as expected.
'Common Sense regulations on guns.'

Subject: Re: Gun control
I won't take a lot of your time or mine -- your mind seems very made up on the issues you raise. But I'll hope that you can take me at my word that I love our state, and it's my belief that background checks strengthen rather than weaken it. We disagree on that but I can tell you that I've thought long and hard about it -- and read hundreds of emails on both sides- and I can't see how requiring a background check for an Internet sale (just like we have at a dealer) restricts anyone's rights. So please know that it's not a casual move on my part.
Best,
Phil Baruth |

SEMIAUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPON BAN by function, type and model: (See Feinstein gun ban listing)
FIVE ROUND MAGAZINE LIMIT on internal mags, TEN ROUND MAGAZINE LIMIT on detachable mags.
Ban on all firearms with 2 or more "features" (See Feinstein gun ban).
Ban on ALL semi-automatic pistols (by definition all pistols have magazines that attach outside the grip).
Same "Negligent Storage" proposal as H.243 including felony charges.
Also mandates pawn shops to keep "Gun Registry" of personal buyer/seller information for 6 years available to law enforcement at all times.

If re-elected, Baruth plans to introduce a bill this winter that would require background checks for private gun sales. The exact text of the bill has not been released, but Baruth said it would be similar to a gun control bill that stirred controversy in 2015.
