If you are not aware of S.30, it is a bill that relates to prohibiting the possession of firearms at three types of locations, and as portrayed it garnered a number of Senate co-sponsors.

Seems a little unfair for legislators to ban firearms in some public buildings, when they have armed guards while most Vermonters don’t.

Senator Phil Baruth’s proposed ban of carrying guns in some public buildings doesn’t have the support of Sen. Dick Sears, chair of Senate Judiciary. It’s not too popular with other committee members either - except Baruth himself. Right now S30 is down - but not out.

Senate ‘gun czar’ Phil Baruth (D-Chittenden) has it wrong - his bill to restrict carrying guns in public will do nothing to stop shootings at hospitals, daycares, government buildings, etc., Public Defender Matter Valerio says.

Note to wannabe armed robbers: don’t fall asleep in your victim’s car.

Well-intentioned gun control bills like S30 don’t actually do much to stop gun crime, Defender General Matt Valerio says.

A perfect storm of $600 recovery checks, an incoming gun-control president, and last week’s riot and predicted unrest have resulted in huge sales in Vermont gun shops. And not all of the customers are Vermonters.

Proposed gun bills include a 48-hour waiting period, notification of police of “extreme risk” gun owners, and prohibition of carrying semi-auto firearms at public gatherings.

Vermont police are planning for possible gatherings of armed citizens at the Vermont State House January 17. Vermont is an “open carry” state so police don’t mind if protesters are carrying. But they won’t tolerate people pointing guns at other people.

A young, conservative U-32 student wonders why Vermont needs gun control when most Vermont gun owners are responsible hunters.
