Vermont Gov. Phil Scott signed three pieces of gun control legislation Wednesday, increasing the age for purchasing assault weapons, banning bump stocks, and expanding background checks for firearm purchases.
“Scott also signed into law a ‘red flag’ policy to make it easier for police to take guns from potentially dangerous people,” reported the Los Angeles Times. The “red flag” law allows authorities to confiscate guns from people they suspect to be a danger to themselves, or others.
“If we are at a point when our kids are afraid to go to school and parents are afraid to put their kids on a bus, who are we?” Scott, a Republican, said in a statement.
