Democrats are trampling the Constitution to restrict Americans’ rights.

So-called Republicans refuse to stand their ground against the Left. 

And a RINO Governor caved to Democrats in this scary fight over the Constitution.

Vermont becomes the latest state for a ghost gun bill

Vermont may be one of the most Democrat-leaning states in the country, but until its RINO Governor Phil Scott took office in 2017, it was a leader in gun rights.

Constitutional carry – the ability to carry a firearm openly or concealed without having to have a government permission slip – was originally called Vermont-style carry because the state never created a concealed carry permit system.

But Democrats in the state have been chipping away at gun rights in the state under Scott’s leadership.

One of the latest boogeymen for the anti-gun lobby is so-called “ghost guns.”

Ghost guns are homemade guns that are manufactured using parts or made with a 3D printer by firearms enthusiasts.

Homemade firearms manufacturing is a hobby that predates the founding of the country.

Anti-gunners claim without evidence that ghost guns are being used in a growing number of crimes, leaving police baffled because they can’t trace them.

In reality, it’s stolen guns that should be a far greater concern, as they’re the ones criminals tend to prefer to use for the simple reason that criminals don’t have to pay to get them or get them for next to nothing from their criminal pals who originally stole them. 

It’s obvious to most people with a lick of common sense that criminals aren’t going to shoulder the monetary cost or time burden of building a firearm themselves.

Nevertheless, laws banning ghost guns have been sweeping across the country at the state and federal levels.

A bill passed by Vermont’s overwhelmingly Democrat State Legislature made it illegal to own an unserialized firearm or the parts used to make one.

Any Vermont resident who wanted to manufacture a firearm at home would need to take the parts to a federal firearms dealer to register it, get a serial number engraved on them, and have their name run through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

Frames and receivers would need to get a serial number.

Anyone wanting to get these parts has to go through the hassle and expense of getting them serialized and registered. 

The bill also banned firearms in polling places. 

Vermont Governor Phil Scott lets ghost gun bill become law

Scott had a chance to stand up against a gun grab in a rural state with a long tradition of embracing the Second Amendment by using his veto power.

But he refused and instead allowed the law to take effect, albeit without signing it.

“To allow a bill to go into law without a signature is a middle-ground approach available to the governor — in between striking it down with a veto and endorsing it with a signature,” VTdigger reported.

Instead of vetoing the bill, Scott took the easy way out by playing it down the middle.

He expressed concerns about the law but said ultimately that firearms need serial numbers.

“Again, while my concerns on the practical impacts and enforceability keep me from signing this bill, I’m allowing it to go into law because I understand the fears behind access to untraceable firearms and respect the effort to tailor the scope and exceptions to limit impact for law abiding citizens,” Scott said.

Criminals aren’t going to follow gun laws to begin with, so all this bill will do is restrict the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
