| Bernard - Governor Scott Vetoes bill S.30 
Thank all of you for actively protecting your rights and traditions! Your calls, emails the governors office, signing the petition and sharing awareness about bill S.30 have been an integral part in defeating this bill by governors veto Bill S.30 was an egregious bill that would have created a new crime for exercising your civil rights of self defense in any hospital and virtually any facility that provided medical care in the state of Vermont. Flawed in many ways. S.30 sought to make criminals of honest citizens that believe in equal application of our civil rights. Bill S.30 would have also created a 30 day waiting period for anyone purchasing or transferring a firearm that was delayed by a backlog in the federal national instant check system or NICS. This 30 days wait would occur even when the applicant was approved by the NICS system after an initial delay. The applicant would then have to wait until out the 30 days expired to take possession of the firearm they had previously been approved to have transferred to them. With your help and activism VTFSC actively fought through committee and floor votes to defeat S.30. The justifications offered by some lawmakers to pass S.30 are already covered under several other existing state statutes. Although we may no always agree with Governor Phil Scotts actions, we recognize his scrutiny of justice and thank him for his veto of S.30 Stay vigilant, stay active, engage your senators and representatives on matters of legislative importance. Please donate to allow us to continue protecting your rights.
