February 18th Public Hearing Anti Gun Bill H.610

Bernard -- This Tuesday February 18th 2020 The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold a public hearing on expanding existing red "Red Flag" legislation, in the House Chambers from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. Article 16 supporters and Second Amendment supporters are strongly encouraged to attend this hearing and voice their opposition! H.610 makes it easier for family members to initiate "red flag" complaints. Under the current law, petitioning the court has to be done by prosecutors. The new version of H.610 will allow any family member or a resident of a house to initiate a red flag seizure to anyone else in the residence. The law greatly infringes on due process under the law for citizens of Vermont. The House Judiciary Committee has been working around the clock to keep their actions hidden from public scrutiny. The continual erosion of constitutional rights by our legislature must come to an end. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. - United States Declaration of  Independence  The bill, by Judiciary Chairwoman Maxine Grad, also contains a provision that blocks "default proceed" for NICS checks which are delayed.  Under federal law, transfers can proceed after three days.   H.610 prohibits proceeding with the transfer for 30 days, suspending the constitutional rights of someone who may in fact not be a prohibited person. This is the equivalent of being treated as a criminal until you can prove otherwise. The committee will be taking public testimony, but even if you don't wish to speak, your attendance does make a difference.   Come stand in solidarity with other gun owners, and as always, please wear orange to both events so that legislators can easily see that Vermonters overwhelmingly oppose gun control!   We will again be distributing American Flags and Orange Federation Tee shirts at the door   For More Hearing Information Click Here Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs http://www.vtfsc.com/ VT Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs · 454 S Main St, Northfield, VT 05663, United States This email was sent to sportsmanscluboffranklincounty.clubnews@blogger.com.

SCFC News,Fishing/Hunting/Gun law updates(Not good), Yankee Sportsman's Show

Hello, Members Volunteers needed at Yankee Classic, FREE ENTRY Vermont Federation of Sportsmans Clubs is looking for volunteers to help hand out information and sign up people to educate fellow sportsmen and women at the Yankee Classic on the upcoming anti-hunting and anti-gun laws. Volunteer for 2 hours and you get a free entry and can spend the rest of the day at the show. If you would like to volunteer, contact vtfedsportclubs@gmail.com Let them know what day and time you can work. (Friday night, Saturday or Sunday) We can't stop this without volunteers to help fight for our rights. Read below and help! Fishing and Hunting: Restrict hunting with dogs and more anti-fishing/hunting laws coming They want to restrict hunting with dogs. https://legislature.vermont.gov/Documents/2020/Docs/BILLS/H-0410/H-0410%20As%20Introduced.pdf And duck hunters, take notice, they won't stop with bunny and bear hunters. They will be after you too. And This is a quote from Protect Our Wildlife(POW), "..Write your legislator today and ask them to expand on the 2018 Coyote killing contest ban and ban ALL wildlife killing contests."(Dec 2019 FB) They won't stop. Yes, ban fishing derbies and buck pools. POW is already working the statehouse for a sponsor. Semi-auto ban Senator Phil Baruth (D) Chittenden County has released his bill H.259 "An act relating to semi-automatic weapons" If you look at the bill, you will note, 14 of the 30 Vermont Senators have signed on as sponsors to the bill. H.259: Link to bill as written Now is the time to be smart and calm, to not make heated comments or send out emotional E-mails and for all gun owners to stand together. "Freedom and Unity" is the Vermont motto for a good reason. It works well Remember the Facts Below: FBI data In late 2019 the FBI released crime statistics for the year 2018. The data for violent crime rates per 100,000 residents shows that: The lowest (50th) violent crime rate state in the nation was Maine 112.1 per 100,000 residents Next lowest at (49th) violent crime rate was Vermont 172,0 per 100,000 residents. Next lowest at (48th) violent crime rate was New Hampshire 173.2 per 100,000 residents. These three states have some of the least restrictive gun laws in the country, including not requiring a permit to carry concealed. Yet, these three northern tier New England states are the three lowest violent rate states in the nation and it is the case year after year. Now look at and compare to the violent crime rates of the other three New England states. CT 207.4 per 100,000 residents RI 219.2 per 100,000 residents MA 338.1 per 100,000 residents Our abutting neighbor state of NY had 350.5 per 100,000 residents. All are violent crime rates, per 100,000 residents. Comparison by this same constant FBI criteria. 48 Hour waiting period Senator Phil Baruth (D) is back with his gun control bill that would severely damage gun shows in Vermont. Clubs like the Barre F&G and Lamoille Valley F&G Clubs earn an essential portion of their revenue from their shows. S.258 would require a waiting period of 48 hours for the purchase of firearms in Vermont. https://legislature.vermont.gov/Documents/2020/Docs/BILLS/S-0258/S-0258%20As%20Introduced.pdf Does anyone think these endless gun control bills are going to stop so long as we have too many of our folks not voting? Legislators don't listen to unregistered voters Register. Write. VOTE! Yes, its that simple. You want to help, write your reps and senators and get registered to vote. ©2020 Sportsman's Club of Franklin County | 851 Maquam Shore Rd.

Hello, Friends! Last month the club announced that we are in need of volunteers to help with the trap/skeet program. Unfortunately, we were unable to find any.
