Gun-Grabbers in VT use suicide map as an excuse.

Vermont is an odd State in the sense that it’s very liberal and very gun-friendly. You don’t even need a concealed-carry license if you want to walk around with your gun.

Yet like cockroaches, gun grabbers are everywhere.

The Gun Sense Vermont forum featured a medical resident in psychiatry, a nurse, a pediatrician, an activist against domestic violence and a state representative who spoke about gun safety through the lenses of legislation, mental health, gun safety education, domestic violence and suicide prevention.

….

“Vermont stands out a little bit there,” Nelson said, explaining a map of firearm suicide rates. “Anyone who thinks that we don’t have firearm deaths in Vermont or that it’s not a problem here, this picture may tell a little bit of a different story. In fact, because we have a relatively high rate of firearm suicide, we also have a little bit higher rate of firearm deaths in general, certainly than any of the rest of the Northeast except Pennsylvania.”

Japan has a high-rate of knife suicide, I don’t see them banning knives. Besides, why are liberals so upset? You people support abortion, right? Consider suicide an after-birth abortion in the 900 trimester or whatever it may be.

“We must educate people about gun safety, such as the awareness of the need to store guns safely,” Kerschner said. “We must alter the environment to protect people from firearms such as the use of gun locks and gun safes, and we must enact new policies to strengthen enforcement of existing laws such as allowing the seizure of firearms during domestic violence situations.”

Oh really? And how will you be enforcing those laws? Will you be breaking the Fourth Amendment to ensure my guns are locked at all times?

Some audience members pushed back against the Gun Sense Vermont presentation.One question, anonymously submitted, asked Gun Sense Vermont members who were also gun owners to raise their hands. Approximately three people in the audience raised their hands.

Exactly, most of these people don’t even own guns, and the 3 that do, just want them for themselves.

When asked about tension in the audience and whether it was possible for gun owners and non-gun owners to collaborate, Braden said, “The majority of gun owners who I’ve talked to are very much pro-background checks, they’re pro-safe storage.”“There are people that don’t agree, but the majority feel like this is a commonsense, mainstream approach,” Braden said. “And why wouldn’t we be taking these precautions to help keep people safe?”

 

Right, and where has Braden met this “majority” of gun owners? At the gun range or at Gun Sense meetings? Hey Braden, I’ll keep myself safe with a gun, you mind your own business.
