VT gets new Gun control bills, age, Mag limits, univ bkgrnd

I'm a hunter and I support the second amendment, but...

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott on Wednesday signed sweeping gun control measures -- including limits on the size of magazines -- that the Legislature passed last month after contentious debate.

The measures:
-- Raise the minimum age for gun buyers to 21;
-- Ban bump stocks, which allow semiautomatic weapons to fire more rapidly;
-- Require all gun transactions to be facilitated by a licensed dealer who would perform background checks, except for law enforcement or military members acting within their duties, or for gun transfers between immediate family members;
-- Limit rifle magazines to 10 rounds.
State residents will be permitted to keep larger-capacity magazines they already own.
As he signed the measures, Scott, a Republican, called himself a Second Amendment supporter who owns guns and has hunted his whole life.

Obama was transparent, but the real gun control gains happen under the Repubs, historically.

...and in less than years this will all be here, in Ohio.

Bills are in Ohio committees, NOW, that makes this look like a casual stroll thru a NRA convention.

Have you contacted your Reps yet? If not today, when? And to that I add when, not if.

Thank you for your consideration WN
