Additional Comments: 6/13/2016: Brooke Paige
It is foolish to pile on more regulations and rules when the authorities already have the tools necessary to prevent guns from being sold to those deemed inappropriate to own them. Lost in the conversation is the fact that criminals, by definition, have no interest in complying with gun laws or for that matter any laws other than the "law of the jungle." In rural communities, where police protection is sparse, the possession of an effective firearm in the hands of a competent owner is the best guarantee of a positive outcome during an assault on "home and hearth."
The gun control folks ultimately seek to disarm the citizenry to insure compliance with the cornucopia of rules, regulations, laws and taxes that the political class seeks to impose on them. They are willing to use every opportunity, every tragedy, to advance their cause.
The founders and framers of the Constitution of the United States and the Vermont Constitution sought to provide the citizenry with rights to not only hunt, but more importantly protect themselves, their families, their homes and their community from intrusions by criminals, foreign invaders and an overtly intrusive government.
Surely the massacre that took place in Orlando last weekend was tragic and all of the information and circumstances will not be known for weeks to come - jumping to conclusions and reacting to the event, in advance of the facts, is nothing more than political opportunism.
