I used to live in Vermont when I taught ROTC at the University of Vermont in Burlington, but I lived in St. Albans. There was a saying outside of Chittenden county that went; “the nicest thing about Burlington is that it’s so close to Vermont”. At the time, communist Bernie Sanders was mayor and there was a Republican governor and they were always at odds. Folks who live outside of Burlington are generally libertarian and scoff at the flatlanders who moved to Burlington from New York City – like Sanders and Howard Dean.<\/p>\n

A local TV station<\/a> reports that the Burlington City Council has voted to approve an assault weapon ban in the city even though none of the weapons they call assault weapons have been used in crime in the city;<\/p>\n

Burlington Police Chief Michael Schirling said most gun crime in the city involves hand guns, not assault weapons.<\/p>\n

But the citizens of Burlington know;<\/p>\n

\u201cHow many semi-automatic rifles have been shot in the city of Burlington with people injured? None,\u201d said Bob Reid. \u201cHow many large capacity magazines were used in those rifles? None.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Luckily, for the residents of Burlington, they’ll get a vote on the scary-looking gun ban in their city, but, they should fire their city council in the interim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
