Vermont gov vetoes creating 24-hour wait period for handgunsFrom VTFSC this morning:
Alert: Status Change for S.169
As of 3:23 Sunday May 12th the agenda for House Judiciary has changed. Previously, S.169 was on the agenda with the tag of "Committee Discussion". Now the tag says: "Committee Discussion and Possible Vote".
A total of 10 minutes have been allotted in the agenda for S.169. We have three things for you to accomplish in the morning hours of Monday May 13th 2019
1. PLEASE: Make some time Monday to make a call to the Sgt at Arms Office at (802) 828-2228, ask to leave the message "No to S.169" for Speaker Johnson.
2. You can also ask that a second message be delivered to the House Judiciary Committee with the same message of NO to S.169!
3. Also, please consider sending a POLITE email to her at: [email protected]
with a Subject line of "No to S.169".
We've come to far with this to lose at the Finish Line. Keep in mind, the legislature is not normally open for business on Mondays. This is special action on this item in the last week of the legislature.
If your not willing to protect your rights, who will?

MONTPELIER, Vt. — Vermont's Republican governor vetoed legislation Monday that would have established a 24-hour waiting period to buy handguns, a move that came about a year after the state imposed its first significant gun ownership restrictions following what police say was a near-miss school shooting.
"Last year, I called for and signed a package of historic gun safety reforms because I believe they make schools, communities, families and individuals safer, while upholding Vermonters' constitutional rights," he said.
"With these measures in place, we must now prioritize strategies that address the underlying causes of violence and suicide. I do not believe S.169 addresses these areas," he added, referring to the waiting-period bill by its official number.
