This is why Vermont's Sportsmen's Bill of Rights is so important.

We still have to fight them in Montpelier.

Proposition 63 was passed in 2016 and makes it illegal to sell ammunition without a license from the Department of Justice.
Any ammo purchased over the internet would also be required to be sold through a licensed dealer, who would then deliver it directly to the buyer.
The measure also prohibits driving ammunition across state lines, and institutes background checks for anyone looking to purchase bullets.
The law requires sellers to track ammo sales electronically and submit record to the DOJ to be stored in the “Ammunition Purchase Records File."
Holy Crap People! Tracking bullets?

"I don't believe our gun laws should change here in Vermont but obviously there is some pressure on the national level to do so,” said Governor Phil Scott, R- Vermont.
Scott says the focus in Vermont needs to be more on safety and gun education, but with Sunday's tragedy, the largest mass shooting in recent US history some lawmakers say the time for change is now.

"Harmon's implication is that these shops sell guns to criminals, but that's not what a trace identifies, and he should know it. Law enforcement may trace a gun because it was lost, stolen, recovered by police in a benign setting or recovered at a crime scene. The only thing a trace tells investigators is where a gun was first legally purchased. He also doesn't explain that the average time from first sale to trace is nine years, or that the overwhelming majority of Chicago's crime guns are either stolen or bought on the black market. That's because those revelations won't support his campaign to drive Illinois gun stores out of business."

1/1/17: American Liberty Report "California Gun Totalitarianism"
SIX NEW ANTI-GUN BILLS PASSED INTO LAW IN CALIFORNIA:
1.California Can CONFISCATE High-Capacity Magazines
Any magazines holding more than 10 bullets will be deemed illegal and will be subject to seizure if the government is aware that an owner has them in their possession. Current owners must turn in such magazines to state authorities.
2.All Ammunition Sales Will Be Recorded and Require Identification and a Background Check
Anyone selling ammunition must be licensed to do so, and all ammunition sales must be reported to the state.

3.No Guns Will Be Allowed to Be Sold with a “Bullet Button”
In the future, guns with so-called “bullet buttons” — which enable spent magazines to be quickly ejected and new magazines to be inserted in a fluid motion using a small tool or the tip of a bullet — will be made illegal. Guns that already have the devices in place will still be legal to possess — as long as owners register them with state authorities as “assault weapons” within one year of the law taking effect. No new firearms with this feature will be allowed to be sold in California.
4.Penalties for False Stolen Gun Reports Will Be Increased
Filing a false police report about a stolen gun will be considered a misdemeanor. In addition, the original purchaser would be prohibited from buying another firearm for 10 years.
5.Background Checks Will Be Required for Gun Loans
If a gun is loaned to someone besides a close relative of its owner, background checks, fees and waiting periods for both persons would be required (upon the loan and the return of the weapon).
6.All Semi-Automatic Rifles Will Be Considered “Assault Weapons”
California will reclassify all legal semiautomatic rifles as “assault weapons” under the new legislation. The laws would cover hundreds of thousands of existing guns.

These laws may simply be a prelude to a total ban on all semi-automatic rifles in the state of California.

PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE!
"...wealthy gun control advocates, like former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, targeted Nevada for universal background checks because of its small population and limited resources to challenge any ballot initiative.

Bloomberg and his gun control group, Everytown for Gun Safety, spent $19 million alone pushing the background check law throughout the election cycle, outspending the National Rifle Association nearly 5-to-1. Turner says the money scraped together by the coalition pales in comparison to the NRA’s $4.5 million donation."

Opponents, meanwhile, only raised and $50,347 in Maine and $435,618 in Nevada."

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 'PERFECT' SOCIALIST COUNTRY, GUN CONTROL = HIGEST CRIME
Venezuelan police crushed and chopped up nearly 2,000 shotguns and pistols in a Caracas city square on Wednesday, as the new interior minister relaunched a long-stalled gun control campaign in one of the world's most crime-ridden countries.
Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said the event marked the renewal of efforts to disarm Venezuelans, through a combination of seizures and a voluntary program to swap guns for electrical goods.
Venezuela has the world's second highest murder rate and the street gangs that plague its poor neighborhoods have become increasingly heavily armed in recent years, at a time when a deep recession has reduced resources available to police.
"We are going to bring disarmament and peace," Interior Minister Nestor Reverol told reporters.
"Venezuela has also bought laser technology to mark ammunition, Reverol said, in an attempt to keep a registry of the bullets given out to the South American nation's many state and municipal police forces."

7/28/2016: Christian Science Monitor "Why Democrats are calling gun violence a 'public health crisis' "
Here is a discussion of the bullshit phrase "public health crisis".
"Framing it as a public health crisis expands how you view the problem and, therefore, approach it," Daniel Webster, the director of the Center for Gun Policy and Research at Johns Hopkins University, tells the Monitor.
Since gun violence represents "an epidemic," the classification is important, says Sandro Galea, the dean of Boston University's School of Public Health.
"It says that we as a society want to see gun violence as something we should act on for the sake of improving health, separate from the many public discussions around values that color this issue," he tells the Monitor.

WHAT OTHER CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT DO THE ANTI-GUNNERS THINK IS A "PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS?"
Gun Control is about PEOPLE CONTROL, never forget it!
Homicides and assaults with firearms is at an ALL-TIME LOW in America, but the democrats scream it is an epidemic. LIES.

GUN OWNERS OF VERMONT LEADS THE CHARGE!
VermontWatchdog.org quoted Gun Owners of Vermont’s Bob DePino, who explained that universal checks were pushed but defeated in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. After the gun control was defeated again this year, DePino said, “They keep coming. They tried and they tried it again.”
DePino referred to S31 as “UBC” (universal background checks) and to H775 as “UBC light.” There were also gun control bills which targeted lead ammunition, implemented new restrictions on shooting ranges, and required home insurers to be informed of guns in the home. All of these bills failed as well.

Here Peter Shumlin says laws shouldn't be enacted state-by-state, but nationally: “We’re not living in the Middle Ages,” Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin said Friday as he called for national gun control legislation. “My view on gun legislation is this: You will not solve this problem state by state. You need a 50-state solution, and we better come up with one fast,”
“Listen, we’ve got a huge problem, Houston. We do,” Shumlin asserted.
"Shumlin, who was elected to his first two-year term as governor in 2010, signed into law a bill last May imposing restrictions on gun ownership in Vermont."
HYPOCRISY AT IT'S FINEST!
He says we won't solve the problem of violence state-by-state, but signs TWO ANTI-GUN BILLS into law under his watch, and wants MORE under federal law!

MORE PROOF that Vermont Voices are NOT being heard in Washington.
ALL THREE of Vermont's representatives are pushing the Obama Administration's gun control policy, regardless of what actual Vermonters actually say!
As a matter of fact, I once wrote to Senator Leahy in OPPOSITION to any new gun control legislation in Washington and I got a reply that said "Thank you for adding your voice to those wanting Common Sense gun reforms."

Vermont's representation is a sham.
My response on VPR: "Vermont's Washington representation does not ACTUALLY represent the wishes of Vermonters.
Vermonters do NOT want further gun control.
That should have been plainly clear at the public hearing for the Universal Background Check bill S.31...
But, alas, our "representatives" in Washington simply ignore the facts, emails, phone calls, and actual public appearances by thousands of Vermonters AGAINST Universal Background Checks.
These 3 in Washington have no interest, nor respect, for the will of Vermonters.
They are not elected "representatives" of the people, they are uncontested "rulers" of our wonderful state.

The anti-gun politicians, anti-gun media, and anti-gun group Gun Sense (read: http://watchdog.org/243150/gun... ) are doubling down with still more anti-gun rhetoric and articles.

The good and honest people of Vermont have had enough of the propaganda, mistruths, sensationalism and outright LIES!

Ann Braden, founder of Gun Sense, ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to have ANY DIALOG with gun owners.
They BAN posters off their Facebook page for posting statistics, they even HIDE their "public" meetings, and cannot rally any more than a handful of people for any event.

Well, I guess the "conversation" about guns is OVER. YOU LOST.

Now, take your Bloomberg's Millions and go away and leave the law-abiding citizens of Vermont alone.

Sincerely,
Bob DePino

Scott Wilson, president of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, told The Huffington Post he was skeptical of the study's findings.
BR>"I would like the author of the report to explain why in states like Vermont -- which has virtually no gun control beyond what's federally mandated -- states like New Hampshire, Maine, Wyoming, all the states where gun purchasers have relative ease provided they can pass a background check, why do those states have lower crime rates?" he said.
See how the Left spins the NATIONAL decrease in violent crime to how CT's unconstitutional law achieved it.

The Maine Chiefs of Police effort to convince lawmakers to reject the proposal has been backed by a volley of paid radio, TV and Web advertising from Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund and the Maine chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
Everytown for Gun Safety is a political group formed by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a well-known gun control advocate who has financed efforts to counter the NRA on a wide range of state and federal gun legislation.
How much Bloomberg’s group has spent attempting to influence the vote on L.D. 652 is unknown.
The group is using indirect lobbying, trying to coax the public to convince state lawmakers to vote against a particular piece of legislation.
State lobbying disclosure laws only require groups to report their advocacy efforts when lobbyists make direct contact with state lawmakers.

AR-13: Prohibition on Use of CDC Funds for Certain Gun Control Activities

The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act specifies that: "None of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control."

Anti-Lobbying Act requirements prohibit lobbying Congress with appropriated Federal monies. Specifically, this Act prohibits the use of Federal funds for direct or indirect communications intended or designed to influence a member of Congress with regard to specific Federal legislation. This prohibition includes the funding and assistance of public grassroots campaigns intended or designed to influence members of Congress with regard to specific legislation or appropriation by Congress.

In addition to the restrictions in the Anti-Lobbying Act, CDC interprets the language in the CDC's Appropriations Act to mean that CDC's funds may not be spent on political action or other activities designed to affect the passage of specific Federal, State, or local legislation intended to restrict or control the purchase or use of firearms.

Here is the origin of Vermont's new H.709 "gun registration" scheme.
SCHEME #1:
1. Get gun owners to admit they own guns.
2. Force them to divulge specific information: Make, Model, S/N.
3. Search NICS database for criminal / phohibited record.
4. Turn over information to law enforcement officials for confiscation.

SCHEME #2:
1. Get gun owners to admit they own guns.
2. Force them to divulge specific information: Make, Model, S/N.
3. Determine arbitrary "leathality scale" of owned firearms.
4. Increase homeowner/renter insurance policies based on quantity and types of firearms in the domicile.
End result, 70% of people will not be able to "afford" to own said firearms and will voluntarily divest themselves of these firearms to avoid becoming a CRIMINAL.
This is a WIN-WIN for the anti-gun forces.

Have cities hire your people for you so that tax payers cover 1/4 of your people's salary and benefits, pay for most of their operational costs, and finance all of their other resources! It also embeds your people as leaders in city government so that you don't have to lobby there!"

Small Arms & Light Weapons
Final Report to United Nations
OVERVIEW
U.N. AGENDA: 3/15/2006: United Nations Special Report Addendum: "Prevention of human rights violations committed with small arms and light weapons
Final report submitted by Barbara Frey, Special Rapporteur, in accordance with Sub-Commission resolution 2002/25"
To anyone who thinks the United Nations is a friend of liberty and justice, read the follwing Addendum to the UN Special Report from 2006. Take note of sections 10 through 13, that outline the mandate of all member nations to enact strict gun control over their population under the guise of "human rights violations".
Registration, licensing, mandated training and us for "authorized specific purposes" only... self-defense is never an "authorized use" under the UN agenda.
