Here’s a wonderful reversal:

> Vermont State Rep. Fred Maslack has read the Second Amendment to the
> U.S. Constitution as well as Vermont’s own Constitution very
> carefully, and his strict interpretation of these documents is popping
> some eyeballs in New England and elsewhere.
>
> Maslack recently proposed a bill to register non-gunowners and
> require them to pay a $500 fee to the state. Thus Vermont would
> become the first state to require a permit for the luxury of going
> about unarmed and assess a fee of $500 for the privilege of not
> owning a gun.
