Vermont Democrats Are Gunning to Get Rid of Preemption

Since at least 1903 localities in the state of Vermont have been prohibited from imposing their own local gun laws; first by a state Supreme Court decision, and since 1988 thanks to the Sportsmen's Bill of Rights. That piece of legislation, widely approved and applauded by Republicans and Democrats alike at the time, is now under fire from the anti-gun left and the subject of a campaign to repeal the law in 2023.
