Taking away the right of the law abiding will NOT protect you from the non law abiding.
“He’s talking about gun control, a subject that touches raw nerves across the US, even in serene, bucolic Vermont. Perhaps especially in Vermont.”
“Serene, bucolic” - read rural.
Of course people will want the right to have guns for protection.
Banks.................protected by guns.
Cops......................by guns.
Politicians........... armed guards.
ANYWHERE there is lots of$$$$$$$...........LOTSA guards and guns.
.............our KIDS...IN SCHOOLS...............
................Naaaaaaaaaaah. Not so much. Guns are ickey, after all. Gutmenschen don’t like them.
Reading through the article, there did not appear to be any mention whatsoever of Vermont for all of those years being one of the areas of the United States having the most casual or permissive states pertaining to firearms laws, yet being one of the least violent. This sort of dishonesty is likely not that terribly surprising from the BBC or other media outlets, but still worth pointing out.
From the people who need a license to buy a butter knife because of immigration.
The question that will get them in their tracks:
How long would slavery lasted in the US had the slaves been armed????
One would expect the idiot Brits, living as helpless sheep in a cage populated by savage third world worlders, would applause this idiot.
I hope he loses. We can spare a governor.
Every year, England proves that America was founded by the best they had!
RIP Britannia!
Good thing he’s running against a tranny or he would have been booted out.
“During a governor’s debate in Rutland two weeks ago, Mr Scott frequently came down on the liberal side of hot-button national political issues.
He said manmade climate change was real - and governments should take action. He expressed support for a Medicare-for-all universal government healthcare system. He spoke of the benefits of immigration.”
So the choice there is between a turncoat liberal RINO and a leftist tranny. Sounds like California.
Not long ago Republican Phil Scott was one of the most popular governors in America
Stopped reading right there. Scott is indistinguishable from a prog leftist.
a dozen replies so far and NOT ONE person has commented about the obvious stupidity of this article.
GOV PHIL SCOTT ???
HIS NAME IS RICK SCOTT.... WHAT A MORON !
One guy; and it’s a news story?
Any politician who can be so easily manipulated does not deserve our support. Being a leader requires a bit of fortitude and critical thinking. Absent that, they are worthless.
“Not long ago Republican Phil Scott was one of the most popular governors in America,”
I am not from VT but I am American and have never even heard of Phil Scott. I lived in MA until 2008, too.
It doesn’t surprise me that Left loons would be popular in New England though.
One of many worthless politicians.
What an idiot this guy is.
