Subject: Vermont Gun Control Bill
Here is the gun control bill that has been under discussion in the House
Judiciary Committee. For all of the folks that think that because the
Republicans are in control of the Vermont House that there is going to be NO
PROBLEMS, take a look at the lead sponsor on this bill. Michael Kainen is a
Republican and a lawyer. We have fought this bill for the three year period,
covering the last two sessions and here it is AGAIN and with the same crap.
We have a new President, who says he will enforce the federal laws and yet
our legislators want to waste our money on this nonsense.
Call Judiciary Chairwomn Judy Crowley and tell her NO on H.97
