Question for VT hunters & shooters
« on: February 27, 2013, 12:33:12 PM »
Senator Leahy of VT seems to be running point on legislation to restrict (and eventually confiscate) firearms from law-abiding Americans.  Are you Vermont voters letting him know that you will become politically active to defeat him and his party if he persists?  Is there a gun problem in VT as perceived by Obama; if not why is your senator doing this to America?

This morning (Saturday, 3/16) on National Public Radio Vermont's Leahy said that only assault rifles are only needed to defend against zombies (whatever they are).  I hope that Vermont gun owners can defeat this fellow if he runs again.   


A fellow I know drove through a college town in northern Vermont last year.  He said that many of the college boys were holding hands with one another.  Is that what zombies are?  What has happened to the Vermont of the Green Mountain Boys?

He is ignoring the fact that his own state consistently has the lowest or near the lowest per capita murder rate in the country despite have no gun control laws whatsoever. Anyone can legally carry concealed in Vermont with no permit.

His allegiance to Obama is more important than looking at the facts of his home state.
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."

Democracy is not majority rule, it's rule by the majority of those who show up.  And showing up requires more than voting, it requires working on campaigns, registering family members, shooters and hunters to vote, contributing money to campaigns, and making sure everyone belongs to the NRA.  If we don't all do this we can be sure our rights will continue to be chipped away, and Senator Leahy representing a state like Vermont that not too long ago loved its freedom is a good example of how democracy can be lost.
