Gun Control Measures Approved By Burlington City Council

In Burlington, VT three citywide gun control resolutions were approved by the City Council, rejecting one requiring a concealed firearm permit on city grounds.

At the council’s meeting, the public voiced their side of Burlington’s debate on gun control policy for an hour and a half, one side wearing blaze orange hunting colors and the other side wearing green shirts representing Gun Sense Vermont, an arms-control group.

The three gun control resolutions approved by the council include:

* Allowing police to confiscate firearms, ammunition and other weapons from those suspected of committing acts of domestic violence;

* Requiring that firearms are kept locked and stored in homes;

* Banning firearms from establishments serving alcohol (expect the owner and law enforcement personnel).
