I LOVE IT ! WISH WE HAD REPRESENTATIVES
WHO HAD GUTS LIKE THIS! WRITE TO EM AND TELL EM YOU WANT TO SEE
THIS IN THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION. For freedom, Kathy
Vermont State Rep. Fred Maslack has read the Second
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as well as Vermont 's own Constitution
very carefully, and his strict interpretation of these documents is
popping some eyeballs in New England and elsewhere.
Maslack recently proposed a bill to register "non- gun-owners"
and require them to pay a $500 fee to the state. Thus Vermont would become
the first state to require a permit for the luxury of going about unarmed
and assess a
fee of $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun
Maslack read the "militia" phrase of the Second Amendment as not
only affirming the right of the individual citizen to bear arms, but as a
clear mandate to do so. He believes that universal gun ownership was
advocated by the Framers of the Constitution as an antidote to a
"monopoly of force" by the government as well as criminals
Vermont 's constitution states 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.
The battle is not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this age.... Therefore take up the whole armor of
God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day..... Eph.
