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 |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
