The Vermont House gave final approval to a gun bill Friday that proponents say will keep firearms out of the hands of many violent felons and from certain people with severe mental illness.

The bill makes possession of a gun a state-level misdemeanor crime for people convicted of aggravated stalking; aggravated domestic assault in the first or second degree; murder; manslaughter; assault and robbery with a dangerous weapon; unlawful restraint; kidnapping; and several other “listed crimes.”

This is the bill that was pronounced dead a month ago amid much celebration by gun rights activists. It takes a special kind of sick bastard to celebrate wife beaters getting to keep their guns and there seems to be an awful lot of them.
