Second Amendment Supporters Are Definitely Voting in November

In a rally at the State House in Montpelier, hundreds of voters unveiled what may be a major rallying cry in the run-up to the mid-term elections: “Remember in November.”

The slogan is sharply similar to Guy Fawkes’ Gunpowder Plot to bring down British Parliament celebrated around the world with the saying, “Remember the Fifth of November.”

Vermonters gathered together showcasing the right to bear arms in response to yet another encroachment on their constitutional rights. In early April, Republican Gov. Phil Scott had received bills that would unnecessarily restrict guns to law-abiding citizens. In what may be the match that lights the American powder keg, citizens arrived at rallies in Montpelier, South Burlington, Barre and Bennington lawfully armed with everything from hunting rifles to firearms the anti-gun lobby has dubbed “assault rifles.”

One of the movement’s organizers, Christopher Covey, told reporters, “I know people are afraid of guns. It’s not the gun you have to fear, it’s the gun in the wrong hand.”

People such as Marine veteran Nicholas Halverson showcased an AR-15 to highlight that the firearms is “no different than any other rifle.”
