Vermont lawmakers gave final legislative approval on Friday to a bill that raises the legal age for buying firearms and expands background checks, becoming the latest state poised to tighten gun restrictions after last month's Florida school massacre.
The Democrat-controlled state Senate approved the measure, S55, in a 17-13 vote, according to the online legislative record. The bill passed the state House of Representatives this week.
There are tons of things that can be done like increasing gun/bullet taxes or taking guns away from those in a domestic violence situation.
I fairness to Vermont Republicans, including the Republican governor: Vermont is not in the divisive poisoned state of the rest of the country. Republicans and Democrats work together as they have for a century or two.
& they've always had a healthy respect for Independents!
