On Thursday, Gov. Phil Scott allowed H.230 into law without his signature. The legislation is intended to reduce suicides across the state and updates red flag provisions and storage laws.
However, it creates a 72-hour waiting period for firearm purchasers, which has struck a nerve with gun advocates.
"To put it succinctly, we’re disappointed, we’re severely disappointed,' said Chris Bradley, president of the Vermont Federation of Sportsman Clubs Inc. "The core of the 2nd Amendment is self-defense. That’s an unalienable right preexisting our constitution," he said. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
