Reply to Burke Mountain Academy's Mikaela Shiffrin Breaks Lindsey Vonn’s Record for World Cup Wins by jimfoxer
Burke Mountain's training slope is one of the steepest in the world and has produced more Olympic ski talent than any other mountain in the world. Great skiers come to Burke because it's the place to ski if you want to be the best.

Reply to comment by bravestatevt in Brave Little State: Films based in VT, dog adoption or Airbnbs? by bravestatevt
I suggest you report on great social issue questions you ask then get outvoted. People have proposed some great topics but dumbassery outvoted it. How about the one on how the state is failing incarcerated individuals by having shit services for reintegration. But this time, don’t offer some stupid alternative for people to vote for like legends of bootlegging or whatever that one was.

Listen, if people want to kill themselves, as tragic as it is, theyre going to do it. Id rather a clean bullet to the head, than forcing some poor volunteer to carry my body out of the quechee gorge...
As far as self defense, generally not needed in my neck of the woods...nope. my rifles are locked in a safe waiting for hunting season. However as a child free, responsible gun owner, i see no reason that someone can dictate where my guns live...the rifle that used to sit next to my bed at my old house, never committed any crimes, or made its way into the wrong hands...
Furthermore, vermont has been historically very lax on guns, if you dont want to live in a state like that, my personal advice would be to move to Massachusetts or ny.

Let's actually see what is in the bill before claiming it is denying self defense in ones own home. So far this post is hearsay and innuendo.

You’re confusing “correlation” and “causation” in your explanation. There may be correlation, but there is no evidence of causation.

Most of legislature may be homegrown, but not most of the sponsors of the bill.

I count 3 from VT, 3 from NY, 1 ea from CA and CO. I don't know if it matters, but it seems just as relevant as most of the legislature being homegrown.

Generally Lynx are the species they want reported, as they are endangered. I'm not 100% sure about bobcat, so I would check with fish and wildlife's website! I think they have an animal sighting report thing somewhere.

I don’t see anyone mentioning Pizza Ida in Burlington. It’s more of an “if you know, you know” hole in the wall, very expensive but very unique for Vermont!

Obviously no sane person wants to shoot a home invader, but the point is that you have no idea what that person is intending to do, or what amount of force they are willing to use. Everyone has the constitutional right to life, and the right to protect themselves and their family. When you have an unknown intruder in your home at 2am in the dark, only an absolute idiot would recommend "running away" (how you would even do that, I have no idea), and this ignores the safety of others in the residence, including children (are they supposed to try to run too?).
This is coming from someone who does not even own a gun, and who favors waiting periods and other restrictions on instant or inappropriate access to weapons.

whispers I agree, but I like to see the mental gymnastics people put themselves through to explain why it’s different.

Honestly yes?
Treat it like it is, a health problem. If you’re an addict why not just give them the real deal. All they’re going to do is find an alternative that is 90% more harmful to their health.

You’re right let’s ban guns and get all 800 million off the streets. Seems like a totally reasonable and doable undertaking.
Also since I put up my no trespassing and no stealing signs on my property all crime has magically stopped! I’m so glad the goverment made stealing illegal, now there will be no more theft ever
