Current Gun Laws In Vermont Are Reasonable

Current Gun Laws In Vermont Are Reasonable

By: Tanner Mashia

What do you think about the right to bear arms? Do you think they should change them? I believe that we should keep them the same. Criminals are the ones that disobey they laws. If we change the laws criminals will still find away to get weapons. I don’t think we should take such action to stricken gun laws if criminals can still get them. I believe that you should have to take a safety course in order to have a handgun. Current gun laws in Vermont are reasonable because they protect our right to bear arms for self defense and recreation and they do not prevent criminals from accessing guns.

Access to guns allow for self defense. Do you ever get the fear of others being armed helps prevent the crime passive self defense? I believe that every human being should be able to own a weapon either if its for protection or recreational use. If im in my home and someone breaks into my home i would like to have protection with me weather it is a rifle or hand gun. I believe that machine guns and Ak 47s are appropriate for this situations. I believe that the 2nd amendment should stay the same. When im at home i feel very safe with the guns that i have. I hope i don't have to ever use them at anytime.


More Restrictions would ruin the hunting industry. i am a hunter my self. I believe that the restrictions should stay the same way they are now. I feel safe in the woods with my rifle. One thing i think everyone should have to do is take a hunters safety course before they purchase a weapon. One for the safety factor that owning a gun brings. Another reason people will know how to shoot and operate a gun safe and well. Also if some people need to hunt to feed their families having the restrictions striker would ruin it for them.


Gun Restrictions don't prevent criminals from getting guns. If a criminal really wants to get a gun they will get one. If it have to be bought for them or snuck around they will be able to get a firearm. If we make the restrictions better i still think that criminals will still be able to get weapons. I don't think we should deal with the hassle of making the stricter if there not going to obey them. If we keep them the same it wont ruin anything at all. Even though criminals will still be able to get weapons i think that we will have to watch out and be aware of the situation. This is a good example on why we can use them for self defense.


I believe that we should keep gun restrictions the same so that it doesn't ruin the fun of other people. Keeping them the same will not be a hassle. I love to hunt and shoot for fun and i would not want to loose my privilege and im sure that goes for everyone else. So everyone uses guns the right way and stop causing trouble! Its like the driving laws if you don't obey them you will loose privileges.

  1. I believe that the right to bear arms should be upheld but I also believe that there should be tighter restrictions in regards to the purchase of guns and ammunition. I agree with your opinion that no matter what we do, criminals will find ways to get weapons. I believe that while we cannot control this, we can make it harder for them to find weapons for sale. Through tighter regulations on the purchase of weapons, we could restrict the market for known criminals to purchase firearms. If we can stop selling firearms to dangerous criminals out of our stores, then we could begin to address the issue of illegally purchased firearms. While tighter restrictions would help with the issue of criminals purchasing guns, I realize that it could also harm those who hunt for their food. I believe that we must keep these people in mind by only restricting the rights to purchase guns of known criminals. No matter the charge, I believe that if you are a criminal, you should not be allowed to purchase a gun.

  2. I agree that no matter what criminals will find a way to get weapons. But that doesn't mean we can try and prevent them from getting them. I think that if someone has past violent experiences they should not be allowed to own a weapon. I believe that we should at least try to keep criminals from getting weapons, even though it may not work.
