SCOTUS Decision on NYSRP

SCOTUS Decides NYSRP Case 6-3!

 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

Bernard - The Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs (VTFSC) and the Vermont State Rifle & Pistol Association (VSRPA) were parties to, and financially supported, an amicus (friend of the court) brief in support of NYSRPA in its challenge to the NY law. The SCOTUS opinions on this case can be found here. In short, the court struck down NY's restrictive licensing scheme 6-3, and affirmed the right of self-defense outside the home, while recognizing that there can be restrictions for sensitive places. In the court's main opinion, and in the three concurring opinions (Alito, Kavanaugh, and Barrett) there were only a handful of citations to pro-gun amicus briefs.  Ours was cited twice, out of the 46 pro-gun briefs that were filed. The majority opinion was written by Justice Clarence Thomas and there are concurring and dissenting opinions.    25 states have "Constitutional Carry" and do not require a concealed carry permit. The VTFSC and VSRPA received the E-mail below from our attorney in our amicus brief in the SCOTUS case that was published today.  ------------------------------------------------------------------- As most of you have heard, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in the Bruen case (New York carry case) today.  A copy is attached. The case was decided 6-3, and establishes quite clearly that Americans have a Second Amendment right to carry a firearm outside the home, and that discretionary permitting systems for carry are unconstitutional.  It refutes just about every argument that the other side has made against the right to carry.  It notes that "shall issue" carry systems appear to be constitutional, unless abused. Our amicus brief is cited twice by Justice Alito in his concurring opinion, so apparently the Court was paying attention. Many thanks to all of you, and your members and Boards, for your participation and support in this important case.  We are making a difference! Best regards, Dan Dan M. Peterson PLLC Fairfax, VA 22030 ------------------------------------------------------------------- In supporting this amicus brief, the VTFSC was representing you. Thanks for your continued support.

VTFSC Update on H.411

Senate NR & Energy PASSES H.411

 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

Bernard - The Federation is pleased to report that H.411 - the "Wanton Waste" bill - was unanimously passed by the Senate Natural Resources & Energy Committee this morning, with this bill being unchanged from what passed the House. In considering this bill, the inclusion of coyote in earlier versions made this bill difficult to deal with, because individual views on coyote differ radically between various group.  Some wish that no coyotes should be killed, with others seeing coyote as pests and nuisance animals. In testimony on this bill, the idea was put forward that there was no need to hunt or kill coyotes, because coyote populations will self-regulate over time.  The problem with that concept however is that by allowing coyote to hit those elevated population levels, there would be very serious consequences, such as the decimation of smaller games species; increased risk of disease and starvation; in addition to coyote driving out species such as fox that desire the same habitat. Beyond that:  As the coyote population expands they will push further into urban areas, and with that push will come a significant increase in negative human-coyote interactions than can be tolerated by most Vermonters. While crow remains a "covered wild animal" in this bill and we argued that crows should also be exempted, coyotes were excluded, and with H.411 we have gained Wanton Waste protection for virtually all other Vermont games species in Vermont - which is not only a HUGE win for our wildlife - it is a concept that virtually all ethical hunters support. On other fronts:  At this time S.129 (change the Fish & Wildlife Board) is dead, with discussions occurring regarding better inclusion of differing views.  S.201 (Ban on foothold traps) has been transformed into a bill requiring that F&W Department to adopt rules for using traps that conform to Best Management Practices, something that the Vermont Trappers Association fully supports, and even submitted a petition for. That only leaves S.281 (Coyote Hunting with Hounds).  The Senate changed that bill from an outright ban into a bill to have the Fish & Wildlife Department create rules for hunting coyote, with the Fish & Wildlife Board than promulgating those rules after public input and acceptance by the Legislative Committee on Rules (LCAR). S.281 is now in House Natural Resources, Fish & Wildlife, with only Commissioner Herrick scheduled to give testimony today at 1:15, and it is scheduled for "possible vote" at 9AM tomorrow. The Federation and it's allies worked hard on all 4 of these bills, with S.129 being set aside; two outright Bans (S.201 and S.281) being addressed through the rule making process; and finally H.411 which became a bill which the VTFSC could support along with the Fish & Wildlife Department. Overall:  We could not be more pleased with these results, and we hope and expect that S.281 will also be acceptable.

Yet Another Gund Control Bill

S.265 - Criminal Threatening

 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

Bernard - Last week the House Judiciary Committee had hearings on S.265, a criminal threatening bill.  The bill would make a "special victim" category for just government officials. Washington County State's Attorney Rory Thibault raised the question of amending S.265 from a misdemeanor to a felony crime, so it could be used to remove the right of firearm ownership by using federal law 18 U.S. Code § 922 (g). Thibault has done this previously (see down below); his testimony starts at starts in the House Judiciary Committee video at 9:30 (9 minutes 30 seconds). Thibault's statements are immediately followed by Rep Martin LaLonde bringing up amending Vermont law to make a conviction of the misdemeanor law that S.265 would create the basis for the loss of the right to own a firearm under Vermont law 13 V.S.A. § 4017. Then Matthew Valerio, Vermont Defender General, testified that S.265 should not be a felony crime.  21:30 (21 Minutes 30 Seconds).  He stated he understands that prosecutors want to pursue the restriction of firearm ownership, but points out that a felony conviction would endanger/terminate other rights of citizenship too.   Then Harrison Stark, Staff Attorney, ACLU of Vermont testified Vermont's current laws were viable and S.265 was unnecessary.  He also stated that if the legislature were to vote, it should vote for S.265, without amendment.  Testimony at 55:00 (55:00 Minutes). Prosecutor Thibault and gun control advocate Representative LaLonde (D -South Burlington) are attempting to use S.265 as a means to extend the prohibition of the private ownership of firearms in Vermont. Watch Washington Country State's Attorney testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee at 50:00 (50 Minutes) advocating the that S.265 be a felony crime:  Not because the crime warranted being a felony, but to be the basis to terminate the gun ownership rights of citizens. Please E-mail Amber Burke, the House Judiciary Committee Assistant, at aburke@leg.state.vt.us with the polite message for the all of the members of the committee that:  "S.265 is completely unnecessary, as existing law works, and the bill is being misused by Rep. Martin LaLonde as a vehicle for a Gun Control Campaign."

S.201 as it was introduced You can read S.201 as it passed the Senate S.281 This bill would have banned hunting coyotes with dogs. It was amended to be a regulatory bill that would set requirements similar to those used for hunting bears with dogs, supported by DF&W and VTFSC.  S.281 as it was introduced S.281 is on Page 2195 of  the Action Calendar of the Senate Calendar for Tuesday, March 29 H.5 This bill to allow the use of firearm suppressors when hunting. H.5 as introduced H.411(Now in Senate Natural Resources & Energy) The bill for use of covered animals - often called "wanton waste".  This issued has been kicked around in legislation for quite a few years.  Last year it looked like agreement on a bill had been achieved, and it fell apart.  This year H.411 did pass out of the House with both DF&W and VTFSC support. It is currently in the Senate Natural Resources Committee and has been introduced.
