Remember When They Used to Be the Gold Standard in 'Gun Rights'?



Via Facebook Messenger, from Bob DePino, Vice President, Gun Owners of Vermont:
Vermont is poised to become Northern Massachusetts this coming year. The November election did not fare well for firearm rights in Vermont. Come January, we will have very few supporters of the Constitutional Right to bear arms under Article 16th in Montpelier.
2018 was the first time in the history of Vermont that truly unconstitutional firearms laws have been passed through the legislature and signed into law (Act 94).
In response, the Gun Owners of Vermont filed a lawsuit in August. Now, we need to win against these anti-self-defense laws in court.
The Attorney General's office has filed this reply to our initial complaint:
We need to raise approximately $30,000 to cover legal expenses. For donations by Check or Money Order, please make them payable to:
Gun Owners of Vermont Legal Defense Fund
P.O. Box 45
Saxtons River, VT 05154

Ethan Allen is turning over in his grave (and no thanks to "Republican" Governor Phil Scott). Help if you can. At the very least, spread the word.

On the other hand, you can't keep sending Bernie Sanders to Washington and expect life as usual to go on back home. What goes around comes around.

Been the best, still the best, always will be the best? Well, maybe not. It usually doesn't work that way. Not too long ago, the greatest retailer in the world was The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company. They rested on their accomplishments when they shouldn't have. You might still have an A&P Supermarket somewhere in your neighborhood. They got replaced by an outfit called Sears, Roebuck & Company. If you hurry, you might get to your local Sears store one more time before it is gone forever. Moral is, what you did yesterday isn't necessarily going to be enough to get you through tomorrow. Want proof? What state was the site of the Battles of Lexington and Concord? Any bets on how many of their descendants would answer the call to arms today?

Funny how we now have to look to the "Wild West" as the last bastion of (relative) freedom.
