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 |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
