ESSEX JCT., Vt. —Gun rights activists are firing back at gun control lobbyists who are pushing for a universal background check bill.

“For me, this bill attempts to stop me from doing something i would never do anyway,” said Chris Bradley, president of the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs.

While no actual bill has been introduced yet, there's talk in Montpelier about legislation that would require criminal background checks for every gun sale in the state, closing a so-called gun show loop hole.

They need more gun laws in Vermont. The violent crime there is ridiculous. It's like the Middle East. Oh, wait . . .

Gimme a break. This is obviously the result of too many transplants from New York, Jersey, and the rest of New England.

They need to stand outside and do the Zulu war chant.

We should all do this in Harrisburg.

I lived in Vermont for 17 years and every so often this type of nonsense arises and nothing ever happens. So far so good, the gun controllers are usually laughed at and told to "sod off". Let's just hope this time these yahoos suffer the same fate again.

WTF? A Democrat Opposes New Gun Control Laws!!!

“I need to be convinced that Vermont needs a background check. I doubt it’s necessary,” state Sen. Dick Sears, D-Bennington, told Vermont Watchdog.

He's probably one of those Democrats in name only.
A Democrat from when the party actually was for the little guy and not for power by the few.
We have them in my area, Conservatives that have to run as a Democrat to get elected due to the rampant straight ticket Democrat voters.
