Bill #5: 2015-2016: Voted FOR S.141 (Act 14) Gun Control Bill (BAD)
http://legislature.vermont.gov/bill/status/2016/S.141 |
2013-2014 Gun Bills: |
Bill #4: 2013-2014: Sponsored H.0124 (BAD): (MAGAZINE BAN) Prohibit the manufacture, possession, or transfer of large capacity ammunition feeding devices (making existing owners felons because magazines do not have date stamps on them).
Once the original owner dies, the firearm must be turned over to the autorities or the new owner will be in possession of an illegal firearm, and now a felon.
Mandating "safety" courses for ALL persons who carry concealed (precursor to full licensing, as only "approved" persons can carry concealed, any other person is a criminal).
Labeling citizens as "approved" to carry is in DIRECT VIOLATION of Article 16 of the Vermont Consitution.
There is NO restriction on "who" can carry firearms in Vermont.
Vermont is the ORIGINAL "Constitutional Carry" State, and it has served us well for over 200 years!
http://legislature.vermont.gov/bill/status/2014/H.0124 |
Bill #3: 2013-2014: Sponsored H.0125 (BAD): Creates a state-run facility to store confiscated firearms before destruction, creates a privately run safety training program (to fulfill the licensing of persons carrying firearms in H.124), allows the private center for Officer and State officials to be used as an indoor firing range.

Articles On Candidate's Stance and Actions on Gun Control: |
Source #5: 7/18/18: Mrowicki said he was pleased that the governor signed into law three gun bills this year — one limiting the size of gun magazines, another increasing the age for buying a firearm to 21, and a third expanding background checks to private gun sales.
However, Mrowicki said he believes one more important piece of legislation is still needed: a waiting period before someone can purchase a firearm.
“States that have waiting periods have reduced rates of suicide and domestic gun violence. I think that’s the next step, and I think we can show that the world is not going to end and the sky is not going to fall because we passed some common-sense gun reforms.”

Source #4: Project VoteSmart 2010 Political Courage Test - Gun Issues:
a) Do you support restrictions on the purchase and possession of guns? Yes
b) Do you support requiring background checks on gun sales between private citizens at gun shows? Yes
c) Do you support allowing individuals to carry concealed guns? No
d) Do you support requiring a license for gun possession? No
e) Other:
Restrictions should be enacted to insure that someone with a history of domestic violence cannot acquire a firearm when a restraining order is in effect (H.735 = work in progress for 4 years).

Source #3: 1:11 - When people are afraid, the cognitive process stops. (Is THAT why anti-gunners can't think rationally?)
1:44 - It's not the people who are acting safely that we have to worry about, though.
1:50 - Vermont is a safe state, but the reality is, WE CAN'T WAIT!
1:59 - We can't wait for another school shooting, we've already had one in Vermont. (NO WE HAVEN'T! No one has entered a school in Vermont intent on shooting CHILDREN! Mrowicki and GunSense LIE to create a fear.)
You [GunSense] deserve a vote. (Except, RIGHTS are not up for a VOTE!)

Source #2: 2018: "Mrowicki believes he's gotten a lot of work done with gun violence,"
Mrowicki has also helped introduce legislation that would introduce a waiting period for gun purchases. "People who are suicidal wait a day or two and it passes," he said. He also thought it would decrease domestic violence-related gun deaths.
