VT Gun Ban Bill collapses, is withdrawn

[Ridge]

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — The majority leaders of the Vermont state Senate says he's withdrawing a bill that would have reinstated in Vermont a now-expired federal assault weapons ban.
Democratic Sen. Philip Baruth, of Chittenden County, says there's not enough support among his colleagues and there's mounting opposition from outside the Statehouse.
Baruth's bill also would have capped the number of rounds in a gun's magazine to five.
Vermont Public Radio (http://bit.ly/10Mebfn ) is reporting that Baruth sent a statement to his colleagues Sunday saying he would abandon the legislation.

"bill also would have capped the number of rounds in a gun's magazine to five" thus banning all but 2% of all guns.

What happened in VT and what's starting to happen across the country (fingers crossed) is a unilateral opposition to gun restrictions, with potential for confiscation. NY wanting to be FIRST for bragging rights, realized afterwards that OOPS we just made felons out of LE once off duty. I believe the new "sensible gun laws" in NY will soon be (if not this week) challenged under a Heller v. DC SC ruling.
Combined with the looming 2014 mid term elections. A few moderate dems realize the empowered anti gun faction may have over reached itself.

I'm trying to remain optimistic while continuing to write letters.
