Vermont Lawmakers Pass Firearms Control Bill

Description

Vermont lawmakers gave final legislative approval on Friday to a bill that raises the legal age for buying firearms. The bill also expands background checks, becoming the most recent state tightening gun restrictions after last month’s Florida school massacre. The S55 measure was approved in a 17-13 vote. The measure now goes to Republican Governor Phil Scott. Scott has recently shifted his stance and voiced support for some gun controls.
