We here in ARIZONA have had our "no permit needed" [concealed carry] law for 2 years now and there have been no increases in "gun incidents", "people going off" or "mass shootings" at all.

The statistics for 30 years clearly show [without argument] DECREASES in crime and no negative impact from citizens being allowed to carry concealed weapons in those areas which "allow" it.

The [stupid/corrupt/insane] Left will NEVER acknowledge these FACTS though because they live in their "World of fantasy" where it is guns that cause the problems, and the only solution is to get rid of ALL of them permanently.

Vermont ‘s constitutionstates explicitly that “the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the State” and those persons who are “conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms” shall be required to “pay such equivalent.” Clearly, says Maslack, Vermonters have a constitutional obligation to arm themselves,
so that they are capable of responding to “any situation that may arise.”

Under the bill, adults who choose not to own a firearm would be required to register their name, address, Social Security Number, and driver’s license number with the state. “There is a legitimate government interest in knowing who is not prepared to defend the state should they be asked to do so,” Maslack says. Vermont already boasts a high rate of gun ownership along with the least restrictive laws of any state. It’s currently the only state that allows a citizen to carry a concealed firearm without a permit.

This combination of plenty of guns and few laws regulating them has resulted in a crime rate that is the third lowest in the nation. ” America is at that awkward stage. It’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.”

This makes sense! There is no reason why gun owners should have to pay taxes to support police protection for people not wanting to own guns. Let them contribute their fair share and pay their own way. Sounds reasonable to me! Non-gun owners require more police to protect them and this fee should go to paying for their defense!

I found a very interesting story on this gun control.

Under the 10th Amendment in the American Constitution/Bill of Rights, States reserve the Freedom to exercise their "Unenumerated Rights with Unenumerated Powers respectively or to the People." Unless obo and his Adm of tyrants find a loop hole, as they did in passing obocare, in creating the lie it was a "tax" instead of the mandated, forced Purchase of Coverage that it really is and although there is NO mention in the Constitution that to Bare Arms a Citizen must purchase a Conceal Carry Permit, more States should follow Vermont's idealism. I am a Conceal Carry Holder and If paying/renewing a permit every 10 yrs is what it takes to ensure my 2nd Amendment Right WILL STAY IN TACT, then so be it... Feinstein and obo have opened a Pandora's Box with this issue. The really sad thing is, innocent lives that have been taken needlessly by deranged individuals is being used as a political agenda/weapon by this Adm. to gain control over yet another American Born Right.... Law or no Law, I will NOT comply!
