7/13/18: “There are a lot of people very upset with the governor and what the legislature did in really ramming through these [bills],” Bradley said. “We can say whatever we want, but there was never any public discussion.”
He said it could cost about $30,000 to run for office. “I’m not looking at this as money, I’m looking at this as how can I help my state,” he said.

4/19/18: The Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs and four other plaintiffs are suing the state over a ban on large capacity gun magazines.
Chris Bradley, the president of the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs.
The standard capacity for the popular AR-15 semi-automatic firearm, for example, is 30 rounds; for pistols, the number is 17 rounds. Thousands of Vermonters own high-capacity magazines, Bradley said, which are “commonly used for competitive sport shooting throughout the state, and many citizens also rely on them for home defense.”
The new law violates Article 16 of the Vermont Constitution, which protects citizens’ right to bear arms, Bradley said, and “prevents the state from requiring law-abiding Vermonters to defend themselves and their families with sub-standard firearm magazines.”
