TUESDAY
FEBRUARY 10th IS A CRITICAL DAY FOR YOUR RIGHTS
What: SENATE HEARING
ON S.31
When: Tuesday, February 10th, 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Where: State House
Chamber, Montpelier
Please be
advised that the Vermont Senate will be holding a public hearing on S.31, a
bill that seeks to create a law that will attempt to regulate the private sale
of firearms. If you wish to speak then
the sign up process begins at 5:00 PM; even if you do not want to speak than
please show up just to show your support for those that will speak. We cannot stress enough how important a large
showing of sportsmen will have on our Senators and Representatives - it is
entirely possible that S.31 will be killed outright with a strong show of
support against this bill.
One very important thing that Vermonters need to know is that the
primary anti-firearm group in Vermont spent $78,000 in 2014, and that was JUST ON LOBBYING. We can expect another $78,000 spent on
lobbying this year, and this does not count the money being dumped on
Legislators as donations, or the money being spent on websites and advertising. Beyond that group, we now also have Everytown
for Gun Safety as a registered lobbyist in Vermont; this is Michael
Bloomberg's group, and heavens only knows how much they will pay for
advertising - which can already be seen in internet banner ads.
The Federation believes the following facts speak for themselves:
·
All of the proposed Burlington Charter Changes are
against existing state law; 2 have been ruled by courts as unconstitutional,
and the third is virtually unenforceable
·
A UBC law will only be adhered to by honest and law-abiding
citizens, who are exactly the same citizens for which there should be no
legitimate concern over gun handling, with these citizens being penalized by
wasting their time and money with an FFL
·
Vermont is the Safest State in the Nation
according to the FBI statistics
·
Vermont is ranked forty-fifth of the 50 states as a source
of guns; Vermont IS NOT a major source of firearms to ANY
other state
Criminals do not obey laws, criminals will always be able to
get firearms, and senseless restrictions on honest citizens will most assuredly
be appreciated by violent thugs and criminals
NO
ONE CAN DO THIS FOR YOU - THIS ISSUE EFFECTS US ALL
