Week 13, 2018: a house run?

March 26, 2018

Monday


Well, isn’t that grand? The Vermont Senate approved a bill requiring “universal background checks” and a 3 day waiting period for new firearm purchases. I’m against it, but I can live with it.

The house, however, has decided that this would also be a great time to include a magazine size restriction. Not just for rifles, but even my 15 round Sig P320 compact would be considered a high capacity weapon. I’ve decided, not surprisingly, that this is bullshit. I don’t have a lot to add at this point, but it has some seriously considering a run for the Vermont House.

Wednesday


S.55 passed the house. They’ve changed the bill to allow 15 round magazines in pistols, but the whole thing still stinks of treachery.
