THIS M A Y M A KE
YOUR D A Y!
Vermont State Rep.
Fred Maslack has read the Second A mendment to the U.S. Constitution, as
well as Vermont 's own Constitution very carefully, and his strict
interpretation of these documents is popping some eyeballs in New England and
elsewhere.
Maslack recently
proposed a bill to register "non-gun-owners" and require them to pay
a $500 fee to the state. Thus Vermont would become the
first state to require a permit for the luxury of going about unarmed and
assess a fee of $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun.
Maslack read the
"militia" phrase of the Second A mendment as not only the right of
the individual citizen to bear arms, but as 'a clear mandate to do so'. He
believes that universal gun ownership was advocated by the Framers of the
Constitution as an antidote to a "monopoly of force" by the
government as well as criminals.
Vermont ’s
constitution states explicitly that "the people have a right to bear arms
for the defense of themselves and the State" and those persons who are
"conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms" shall be required to
"pay such equivalent." Clearly, says Maslack, Vermonters have a
constitutional obligation to arm themselves, so that they are capable of
responding to "any situation that may arise."
Under the bill,
adults who choose not to own a firearm would be required to register their
name, address, Social Security Number, and driver's license number with the
state. "There is a legitimate government interest in knowing who is not prepared to defend the state should they be asked
to do so," Maslack says.
Vermont already
boasts a high rate of gun ownership along with the least restrictive laws of
any state. It's currently the only state that allows a
citizen to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. This combination of
plenty of guns and few laws regulating them has resulted in a crime rate that
is the third lowest in the nation.
" America is at
that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to
shoot the bastards." This makes sense! There is no reason why gun owners
should have to pay taxes to support police protection for people not wanting to
own guns. Let them contribute their fair share and pay their own way.
Sounds reasonable to
me! Non-gun owners require more police to protect them and this fee should
go to paying for their defense!
I LIKE IT - DO YOU?

I liked it for the first 10 seconds until I realized that in a society advocating freedom, this would just seem like another unjust tax. These idiots should be allowed to go unarmed if that is what they want. Let the criminals prey on them and leave us armed folks alone.
It still puts people on A list
Absolutely the best solution I have heard. I jabe friends in VT and they too love it.
I love this.
A man with excellent judgement! Let every State adopt this new regulation and America will be a better place!! Bless this man!
Live Free or Die. I resonate with that sentiment, as does, I believe many,many of you. Go Vermont!
Seems like a separating of whose who if you ask me.
These sick and twisted traitor bastards want our guns? Let em come and get em. They won't. They will send their brain dead trained drones with guns and badges to do their dirty work and the brainwashed drones will go for it. Divide and conquer. Isn't that the plan?
Did you know.....
• A 1997 high school shooting in Pearl, Miss., was halted by the school's vice principal after he retrieved the Colt .45 he kept in his truck.
• A 1998 middle school shooting ended when a man living next door heard gunfire and apprehended the shooter with his shotgun.
• A 2002 terrorist attack at an Israeli school was quickly stopped by an armed teacher and a school guard.
• A 2002 law school shooting in Grundy, Va., came to an abrupt conclusion when students carrying firearms confronted the shooter.
• A 2007 mall shooting in Ogden, Utah, ended when an armed off-duty police officer intervened.
• A 2009 workplace shooting in Houston, Texas, was halted by two coworkers who carried concealed handguns.
• A 2012 church shooting in Aurora, Colo., was stopped by a member of the congregation carrying a gun.
• At the recent mall shooting in Portland, Ore., the gunman took his own life minutes after being confronted by a shopper carrying a concealed weapon.
2,500 times last year alone legal gun owners stopped violent crime when confronted with it long before any police assistance ... Of course, you probably didn't know any of this because mainstream media doesn't find it worth reporting. It's not sensational enough and doesn't fit with their agenda. What's insane is people who think removing rights from responsible people will somehow keep them safe. PASS This on before it's too late.
Agreed, being on a list can have unintended consequences. Just like that N.Y. news rag printed the names and adrs. of arms owners registered in the region. These arms owners were forced to register arms w/ the so-called local authority.
So a reporter who emotionally reacted to the Sandy Hook Elem. massacre obtained the FOIA request of arms owners and printed them in the paper.
1. it identified the locations of arms adrs. so criminals could target these homes to get their illegal arms to do those kinds of massacres there in Conn. 2. It signaled to criminals the soft and easy targets for home invasions and burglary.
In this case, there shouldn't be a list because of likely abuse of the list & if the freeloaders who didn't want to be taxed do community service in lieu of protecting their community.
