Source #2: (2015) Regarding S.141: Rep. McFaun of Barre Town explained his vote as follows: “Mr. Speaker: I vote no because I don’t believe it is necessary for the State of Vermont to create a new misdemeanor crime for a person convicted of a violent crime possessing a firearm when we already have a federal felony crime for a person who has been convicted of a violent crime, for possessing a firearm.”
