2014 Gun Bills:
2013-14: Sponsored S.0094 (BAD): An act relating to reporting dangerous and mentally ill persons to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System
Senate version of H.467: Mandates the State notify the National Instant Criminal Background Check System when a person is treated for mental illness, whether hospitalized or not hospitalized, so that the person will now appear as a "Prohibited Person" (ie. felon) and will be forever barred the possession of firearms.
There is currently, no way out of the NICS even if the person is no longer a threat, or found not to be mentally ill.
There is NO provision to EVER remove this prohibition!
This type of law is CONTINUOUSLY updated with new restrictions and clauses.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY Platform: Develop effective state gun control measures, such as universal background checks, safe storage regulations and an end to the violent felon loophole. The VPP views the issues of gun violence as both a criminal and health issue for Vermonters.

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.

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.
