I remember when some libtards tried to introduce some gun control measures in Vermont. The people came out of the woodworks en mass against it and it did not go anywhere. Vermont has a lot of classical liberals.
Unfortunately, we get more than our share of brain-dead flat-landers moving here to run for office. Bernie, the socialist from Brooklyn, started that trend. I recall seeing that filthy commune reject sleeping on a park bench in Burlington in the late 1970’s. Then the Supreme Court allowed students to vote where they attended school, and that propelled him to local, then national, office. But he was savvy enough to keep out of the gun control debate - that would have sunk him.
