On Thursday, Gov. Phil Scott allowed H.230 into law without his signature. The legislation is intended to reduce suicides across the state and updates red flag provisions and storage laws.
However, it creates a 72-hour waiting period for firearm purchasers, which has struck a nerve with gun advocates.
"To put it succinctly, we’re disappointed, we’re severely disappointed,' said Chris Bradley, president of the Vermont Federation of Sportsman Clubs Inc. "The core of the 2nd Amendment is self-defense. That’s an unalienable right preexisting our constitution," he said. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S.
