Organizations supporting gun rights have filed suit challenging two provisions of Vermont’s gun laws.
The Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs has joined two sporting goods stores and two individuals in a lawsuit that claims two Vermont laws violate the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The first law limits firearms magazines to 10 rounds for a rifle and 15 for a pistol. The second imposes a 72-hour waiting period for the purchase of a firearm.
Federation President Chris Bradley says the “restrictions unconstitutionally infringe on Vermonters’ fundamental right to self-defense and must be struck down.”
