The Vermont Senate approved legislation Thursday that would ban guns from Vermont hospitals and set up a legislative study of whether to prohibit firearms from the Capitol Complex in Montpelier.
On the virtual Senate floor Thursday, the proposal was split into two votes — one on banning guns in hospitals and the other on the legislative study. Senators voted 20-9 in favor of prohibiting guns in hospitals and 19-10 for the proposed study.
The bill is expected to be given final approval Friday, then be sent to the House of Representatives. |

“What Vermonters want are sensible gun laws.”
What is 'sensible' about prohibiting lawful carry in hospitals? Please point to any evidence of guns having created a problem in hospitals. If there is any, nobody is aware of it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
