PASSED
in the State House of Representatives
on April 17, 2015, by a vote of 80-62
. Purpose:S. 141 brings Vermont law into line with federal law, preventing felons and those adjudicated to be mentally ill from purchasing a firearm. .
Analysis: Those voting YES The bill would make it a state crime for many convicted felons to possess firearms, though this is already a crime under federal law. They would also have the state report to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System any time someone has been found by a court to be mentally ill and a danger to himself or others. .
Those voting NO believe this is a “solution in search of a problem.” According to FBI statistics, Vermont is the safest state in the union with very little gun crime. .
