NO NEW GUN CONTROL LAWS

The Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs has booked the large Vermont State House Cafeteria

on Tuesday, Jan. 27 for Vermonters to use to express their opposition to gun control legislation.

VTFSC will be working there 2 PM to 7:30 PM and encourages gun owners  to be there and be heard.

Delores Luebke of West Pawlet is working to get a bus that people from Rutland County could go up together on. At 5:30 on the same day, the VTGOP is hosting their 2015 Inaugural Celebration at Capitol Plaza. Its possible that the bus could return at the end of that event. If you would be interested contact her atluebked@aim.com

Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, Inc. Proudly Serving Vermont Since 1875 ATTENTION:  VERMONT SPORTSMEN & SPORTSWOMEN Let's Tell Our Legislators:  NO  NEW  GUN  CONTROL  LAWS Where:  Vermont State House, Montpelier When:  Tuesday,  January  27th,  2:00PM  to  7:30PM What:   Vermont  Sportspersons  Filling  the  State House Vermont's Gun Control lobby is telling our legislators that the population of Vermont has changed; that your rights and values are no longer relevant.  They say that you are not willing to be bothered to protect your rights, and that you will not oppose their laundry-list of New York City-type of gun control.  They say 2015 is the year for Vermont to enact big city gun control restrictions and you will passively not object. Even though Vermont has an existing law which states that no municipality can attempt to regulate the "possession, ownership, transportation, transfer, sale, purchase, carrying, licensing or registration of traps, firearms, ammunition or components of firearms or ammunition" (V.S.A. Tile 24 §2295 - better known as the "Sportsmen's Bill of Rights"), last year the politicians of Burlington acted in utter contempt of this law by moving forward to the State Legislature several anti-firearm resolutions to change their Charter.  If these Charter changes are passed this will gravely impact ALL Vermont Sportspersons because towns and cities across the state would then be empowered to enact their own shooting, hunting and trapping bans, ending up with state-wide patchwork of conflicting ordinances.           Beyond that:  There is now an anti-firearm group in Vermont spending a lot of money for the most expensive lobbyists in the state.  This group claims to be a "grass-roots" Vermont organization, but does not show the exact source(s) of their funding.  We believe the following facts speak for themselves: ·        At least 2 of the anti-firearm ordinances proposed for Burlington have been ruled by courts as unconstitutional in other states, the third is virtually unenforceable, and all are against existing state law ·        Vermont is the safest state in the nation due to Vermont having the lowest violent crime rate per capita ·        Vermont is ranked forty-fifth of the 50 states in guns trace backs performed by the BATFE ·        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 Wear Orange, Be Polite & Respectful, but let us FILL OUR STATE HOUSE!
