Bill #9 |
9/27/18: As for gun control, Shaw said he supported all of the bills passed in the last session except S.55, which banned bump stocks, added new restrictions on sales and banned high-capacity magazines.
“I did not support the bill. It was a poorly written, rushed bill that didn’t get a fair hearing in Montpelier,” he said.

4/16/2015: S.141 “Mr. Speaker:
Do we really need a new law that mirrors Federal law? The federal government needs to step up and do the job they are authorized to do! I vote no.”
Source #2 |
2015: S.141 “Mr. Speaker: ‘The people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the State’ are words Vermonters have lived by since July 8, 1977. Now, nearly two and a half centuries later, this founding principle is being challenged by S.141.
I vote ‘NO’ to stand up for nearly 250 years of tradition and to protect the right to bear arms for future generations of Vermonters."
