Gun Ban Blow back continues

Good day all. As you know, Comrade Senator Feinstein’s bill to ban scary style guns has been submitted. The more left wing states have begun the process of rescinding the Second Amendment since they don’t like it. Well, in an entirely expected response, gun owners, manufacturers and rifle ranges are passing their own bans.

In this case, the People’s Progressive Liberal Democratic City of Burlington, Vermont has decided ban semi-automatic firearms and standard capacity magazines. Here are a few details from Fox News.

The battle over the right to bear arms is flaring in Vermont, where a local gun range has moved to prohibit the Burlington Police Department from training at its facilities after the City Council voted to advance a measure banning semi-automatic rifles and large-capacity magazines.

Vermont has some of the best firearms laws in the nation. You can carry a gun in the open or concealed and don’t need a license. What these moonbats in Burlington are doing is dead opposite of what the rest of the state is doing. Well, much to the surprise of no one with 4 functioning brain cells, the local firing range has decided to retaliate.

The leadership of the Lamoille Valley Fish and Game Club explained that it’s “difficult” for the club to support the city — even its officers — given the actions of the council.

“We have members in Burlington as well as members of our club that are going to be passing through Burlington and this would directly affect them and we felt that a prejudicial vote like that was going to be non-supportive of our club and being non-supportive of our club makes it very difficult to support Burlington City,” said Bob Boivin, chairman of the Lamoille Valley Fish and Game Club.

“It is a constitutional issue. I mean, it’s not just a Second Amendment constitutional issue; but it’s also a constitutional issue for Vermont. We have laws that have the state governing our gun controls in this area and they’re looking to supersede those,” he said.

Of course, the arrogant moonbats don’t see any problem with suppressing the civil rights of more that half the population of Vermont.

“In the absence of federal legislation or state law we feel it has come upon us as a city to take the measures we feel are necessary to protect our citizens,” Burlington City Councilman Norman Blais said.

“Ultimately, I don’t think that the best way to assert control over guns is at the local level,” conceded Joan Shannon, president of the Burlington City Council. “But here in Burlington, I think we felt the need to act because we didn’t see action coming from either the state level or the federal level.”

Typical of the Elitist left. Since now one is going to amend the constitution to strip the right to keep and bear arms away from the serfs, we shall do it on our own.

Shannon said the council’s action are only a first step toward better protecting the people of the city, “but this at least gets the discussion started and often times we have found in Burlington that we lead the way and others will follow, and I think that that’s the intention here.”

Ahh yes, the liberal mantra of “We must protect the people by taking away their means of protecting themselves!” In other words, lets make Burlington a Target Rich Environment for lunatics and criminals. Or, “Let’s try the Chicago way. We can beat their body count easily once we ban guns!” Well, the good news is this has a long way to go before these closet totalitarians can implement their plans to suppress the rights of the people.

The Burlington City Council’s proposal to ban certain assault weapons is far from being implemented. City voters would get a say in 2014. Then the measure would require approval by the Vermont legislature. Finally, if it does become law, it’s likely to face a constitutional challenge from gun-rights advocates.

Considering that Obergruppenführer Feinstein’s gun ban is all but dead and probably won’t make it out of the Senate Judicial committee, not to mention the very high level of gun ownership in Vermont, my guess is this too shall be dead on arrival. I suspect that the Burlington city counsel may be seeing some new members in the next election. (Armed moonbats rather than the current crop of communist sheep) We shall see of course. Vermont has been in the Moonbat camp for a very long time now.

Thatisall
