Reply to Teacher moving to VT by thebaerfetus

Unfortunately, they don't. You are exactly the kind of person we need moving here, instead we're filling up w/ trustafarians/ work from home financial services types. Don't move here, move somewhere cool that wants you. VT is snotty, rich, and ruined post covid.

Yeah, good point. Pun intended but, I wonder if the author of the proposed legislation is shooting themselves in the foot with such a Draconian proposal. I mean, if your first pass at it is so far fetched, some folks might not even take you seriously and you end up doing yourself a disservice. Like if someone suggested making you dissemble the key fob to your car every time you got home in an effort to curb drunk driving wouldn't you be like 'yeah right, gimmie a break dude'.

if you're a leftist you should know the law. These proposals will fail under the Vermont constitution AND under the US constitution. The most recent court decision regarding 2nd amd was NY Rifle and Pistol ASSO where the court held that you have a constitutional right to carry out of the home. As such these proposals will have to fail. No different from passing trigger laws about abortion. They can be passed and enrolled on the books but not enforced, or worse if the states stupid enough to enforce them it'll get held illegal.

wtf none of those things go together and thinking they do is unhinged. Also I want our politicians to do everything in their power to maintain western hegemony, anyone who disagrees is an idiot. Do you want China running the global order? You talk like you love democracy but also talk like defending it is wrong... highly likely this is a rutland area take

Most of these proposals will fail constitutional muster. Gun nuts need to simmer down same as gun nut haters. This is a completely for show proposal that -even if it passes- will fail in the courts. The only possible enduring change this proposal advances is the duty to retreat which isn't AT ALL different from our current system of tort self defense except for you'll probably have to take a few steps back while saying 'hey stop ima shoot you idiot'.

Everyone settle down and stop acting stupid. You'd think fellow gun lovers would understand the law but i guess not. Which ngl makes me less inclined to let them be gun owners but thats not my decision.
