H230 allows family members to report someone as mentally unstable, which can result in them being prohibited from purchasing a firearm.
The Vermont Senate passed H230 on May 2, 2023 by a vote of 19 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the nays because red-flag laws are a gross violation of our 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendment rights. Ultimately, the right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and should not be infringed upon.
