Bloomberg Funded "Gun Control" Push in Vermont

 I've stated multiple times that Bloomberg and his minions,especially with Ms. Watts' ad exec experience leading the Bloomberg funded "grassroots effort" via Mom's Demand Action, Everytown for Gun Safety,and whatever other lobbying groups he has registered in an attempt to not draw attention to any of his known groups,or himself.

“Members of the public interested in testifying regarding the above bill may sign up 30 minutes prior to the hearing outside the House Chamber,” PBS reported. "Each person will have two minutes to testify and the hearing will adjourn at 8:00 p.m. Due to our time frame, please note everyone may not be able to testify.”
On this evening's agenda will be S.31, “An act relating to possession and transfer of firearms,” introduced by Democrat Senators John F. Campbell, Philip Baruth, and Claire Ayer. The bill purports to prohibit persons convicted of violent crimes from possessing firearms, to require background checks with specified government and law enforcement exemptions, and to mandate court administrators to report specified updates to the Brady Law-established National Criminal Background Instant Check System.
New edicts are “strenuously opposed by the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs. The gun rights and shooting sports-promoting group characterized the bill as “a solution in search of a problem” in its Statement Opposing S.31.
“[T]his bill is unnecessary gun control legislation,” VTFSC declared. “[I]t was introduced for a Vermont gun control organization, with this bill inflicting needless expense and damage to the rights of good citizens.
“The Federation has long opposed laws which needlessly restrict the responsible use and ownership of firearms by peaceful citizens,” VTFSC explained. “Such gun control laws do not deter crime and only serve to slander the good character of the vast majority of firearm owners, the vast majority of which are responsible citizens.”
The gun rights group has posted an announcement on its blog presenting what it calls “facts [that] speak for themselves.” In it, supporters are urged to attend the session in person, and to “Wear orange, be polite and respectful but let us fill the House chamber.”
