| Bernard -- Today, with the support of the Gun Owners of Vermont, several Vermont manufacturers, its member clubs, and the many thousands of individual members, the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs (VTFSC) joined a group of Vermont citizens and sporting-goods stores in filing a federal lawsuit challenging Vermont's 72-hour waiting period law and its ban on standard capacity firearm magazines that are commonly owned in Vermont and across the nation. "The inherent right to self-defense" the Supreme Court has explained "is central to the Second Amendment right."[1] "The Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Bruen[2] last year held that Second Amendment rights must be protected just like all other fundamental constitutional rights." said Chris Bradley, President and Executive Director of the VTFSC. "The Supreme Court made it clear that governments may not impose arbitrary and pointless restrictions like Vermont's waiting period and its ban on commonly-owned, standard-capacity magazines. These restrictions unconstitutionally infringe on Vermonters' fundamental right to self-defense and must be struck down." Since announcing it decision to challenge these laws, the VTFSC has raised approximately $250,000 towards the projected goal of $300,000 to take this case thru the 2nd Circuit, so we still need to raise funds.
