Burlington voters opt to give up gun rights, gut state preemption

Voters chose to allow authorities to seize firearms at domestic investigations (Yes: 5,579 / No: 2,066), ban firearms from establishments that serve liquor (Yes: 5,194 / No: 2,517), and require firearms in the home to be locked up (Yes: 4,351 / No: 2,971) in an election that marks the latest battle in a long campaign being waged between “progressive” Burlington Council members working with Gun Sense Vermont, and the Vermont Federation of Sportmen’s Clubs.

It will not be the city's show in the state house. The legislators remember Peter Smith.

Vermonters need to donate to the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, and do it now.

Show Burlington's collectivists that they will not violate state law at our expense.

I am all for gutting state "preemption " cuz that's a bullshit line if there ever was one. The enumeration is NOT to allocate or delegate authority to state governments - it's to "remind" everyone that state governments DONT HAVE authority, just like local and federal gubmint doesn't.

Now, that doesn't mean it's open to a vote either. It's NOT!
Play the commerce game all they like - the truth will come out eventually. But I'll point out this much -

There is a HUGE lawsuit brewing right here -at LEAST on the locked up portion - make no mistake SCOTUS already spoke directly to that point..... Admitting that government does not have the authority to mandate such a thing as that mandate amounts to a destruction of the right itself.

Surely SOMEONE has shown them HELLER, right, trigger lock? Struck down??? Right?

Burlington, Vermont has been co-opted by the moron class...that group of people that believes it has the "right" to remove other peoples rights.
There just ain't no cure for stupid....but there is a cure for the Republic.
It tastes really bad, but leaves the body in short order.

The problem is not the politician. The problem is the electorate.
