Paul Bean welcomed Vermont Federation of Sportsmens’ Clubs President Chris Bradley to a Creemee Cast at Bean Studios this week.
Bradley, an unwavering support of Second Amendment rights, said the legislative push for bans on carrying weapons in hospitals and bars will run up against the U.S. Supreme Court decisions protecting the right to carry concealed weapons.
“The elephant in the room is concealed carry. I don’t think a lot of people realize just how many Vermonters go about their daily life with some sort of personal protection very close by,” Bradley said.

“Bradley, an wavering support of Second Amendment rights, ? May I assume that you meant, Bradley, an unwavering supporter of Second Amendment rights ? Other than that may I also state that sports men, and women, and all supporters of the 2nd A owe Mr. Bradly a debt of gratitude for his tireless pursuit of the protection of our interests. Thank you Chris !
The 2nd Amendment grants no rights. The 2nd Amendment forbids government to infringe on the right that we already have. Given to us by God and Natural Law.
The 2nd Amendment was enumerated in our Bill of Rights by the Constitutional Convention of 1787 to give “We the People” the means to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights from those who would take them from us. You can’t take away someone’s right to free speech, freedom of assembly or freedom of religion without first taking away their ability to resist. THE 2nd AMENDMENT DOES NOT GRANT US THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. THE 2nd AMENDMENT PROHIBITS THE GOVERNMENT FROM INFRINGING ON OUR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS – PERIOD! THEREFORE, ALL GUN CONTROL UNDER THE CONSTITUTION IS ILLEGAL! Government does not give us our rights. Our rights are not given to us by the Constitution. Our rights are given to us by God and are inherent to us as human beings and by the Laws of Nature. These rights that we are born with are affirmed to us by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments of the Constitution and specify what the government can and cannot do to us as citizens of the United States. Government’s only power is the power which is enumerated to it by the Constitution. The federal government, a state, county or town cannot pass a law contrary to the Constitution. Article 6 the Supremacy Clause makes the Constitution the supreme law of the land. Under our Constitution the government is not delegated the authority to legislate, enforce, or adjudicate laws pertaining to the exercise of our rights under the Constitution. The government is not delegated the authority by our Constitution to require the government’s permission to exercise any right affirmed to us under the Constitution. The government is not delegated the authority by our Constitution to compel us to waive our guaranteed 4th Amendment right to be secure from unwarranted interrogation, search, or seizure in the absence of probable cause of criminal conduct. Or compel us to waive our guaranteed 5th Amendment right to due process as a precondition to being allowed (or denied) the exercise of our right to keep and bear arms. This violation of our 4th and 5th Amendment rights happens every time that we are interrogated under penalty of perjury without probable cause that a crime has been committed when we fill out B.A.T.F.E form 4473 to purchase a firearm. The government is not delegated the authority by our Constitution to compel us to waive our 10th Amendment right to a federal government exercising only those powers delegated to it by the United States Constitution, and State governments are prohibited the exercise of any power prohibited to the States by the United States Constitution.
The government is not delegated the authority under the 14th Amendment to make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. Government is not delegated by our Constitution the authority to license firearm dealers or operate or fund the most powerful anti-rights government agency on the planet called the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Since no Amendment in the Bill of Rights has been repealed thru Article V or by a National Convention of States, the only legal way to change the Constitution, all existing gun control laws presently violate five Amendments of the Bill of Rights and goes against the settled law of two Supreme Court decisions, Heller vs the District of Columbia 2008 and McDonald vs Chicago 2010. Both decisions affirm that the people’s right to keep and bear arms is an individual right and that citizens are allowed firearms in common use, those small arms or those that operate like them and are issued to our National Guard which comprises of citizen soldiers. In the Second Militia Act of 1792 Congress specified the arms militia members were to have. It was incumbent on militia members to report to training and duty with their own arms and ammo. So, one of the primary purposes of the 2nd Amendment was to ensure that the militia would not be disarmed by taking away guns from the people who constituted the militia.
The purpose of compelled background checks as a precondition to allowing or denying the transfer of a firearm is to deceive firearm owners and prospective owners into unknowingly waiving their rights guaranteed by the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 10thand 14th Amendments so they will have no rights left to claim when the government decides to register and confiscate our firearms. We have a right to keep and bear arms, not a privilege to keep and bear arms. Our rights are beyond the reach of the government and no citizen has to ask government permission to exercise a right. Government has no authority delegated to it by the Constitution to deceive its citizens into waiving their rights or acquiescing to the loss of their rights by subterfuge, scam, fraud, or force. DO NOT VOLUNTARILY GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS!
WE DO NOT HAVE TO OBEY UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWS
Supreme Court Decision – Norton v Shelby County 1886
6 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256:
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The US. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law violating it to be valid; one must prevail. This is succinctly stated as follows:
The General rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose, since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted. Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it.… A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one. An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law. Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the lend, it is superseded thereby. No one Is bound to obey an unconstitutional law, and no courts are bound to enforce it. The Supreme Court’s decision is as follows; “An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it has never been passed”. Norton vs Shelby County 1886 – 118 US 425 p.442.
“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void”.
Marbury vs Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803)
Thomas Jefferson: “Whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, it’s acts are authoritative, void and of no force”.
Alexander Hamilton explains unconstitutional law in Federalist No.76; “No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; those men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid”.
Not only the 2nd Amendment but all of the Bill of Rights, DO NOT GRANT any rights, they prohibit Government from obstructing your naturally god given rights!
Nut cases and criminals will use any convenient method to make slaves of us. A gun is just a convenient and effective deterrent. Always closer and available then a good policeman. When in danger from man or beast, it can mean survival. It is a tool as useful as a hammer or pliers for a specific use that cannot be as effectively accomplished by other means. Almost all of us will never really EVER need this instrument in our lifetime. But many a disaster can be eliminated by a good guy with a gun in the right place. Just the sight or noise will dissuade most predators. Now, enough of this stupidity, you keep your abortion and we keep our firearms.
I carry concealed in Tennessee, the law states you cannot be armed in an establishment and consume alcoholic beverages at the same time. You can can carry in the establishment as long as you do not drink. That is common sense. If Vermont doesn’t have a restriction like that, you should. As for reality…..criminals will carry concealed and drink in total disregard for the law…..THAT’S WHY THEY’RE CRIMINALS. That’s the fact that liberals are too blind to understand.
Gun bans are a false sense of security for the anti-gun crowd. Sadly the five people who died this month in school shootings will attest to that. Interesting that both shooters were on “the radar” also.
Ban guns from law abiding citizens, because why stymy bad guys?
I wish you put up a transcript of it. I can’t sit for an hour to listen
Mr. Martin, if you open the YouTube app or click on the word in the function bar that says “YouTube” which takes you to the site and you can see the video description. It starts with the number of views and is followed by how long ago it was posted. Hit the word “more” after the ellipses and the option to read the transcript comes up. Warning, it may not be completely accurate so if something seems off, go to the minute mark and listen for yourself. Hope that helps.
Best,
Pam Baker
Some people just don’t care about bans, I know many who just do it (carry) regardless…they would rather see a dead thug than be hovering over their own dead body saying “I shoulda, woulda, coulda”!
Red flag law – If you can’t be trusted with purchasing a firearm, you also can’t be trusted to live with society unsupervised. There are infinite dangerous resources that can be utilized to cause great harm. Nothing is stopping a red flagged person from driving through a parade of people, or causing infinite other types of harm with infinite other types of tools. The red flag laws have killed innocent people, on record you can get from GOA. Vermont Federation of Sportsmen needs to immediately change their position and apologize for their incorrect and irresponsible views. Their reputation is forever tarnished.
Prioritize violent criminals in the Judicial system so they can get their judgement just as fast as the red flags system currently works. Come up with a mandatory supervised community that can work and contribute to society in a supervised and structured capacity after a lengthy punishment for their violence has been completed. “Mental-health” medications that have “homicide” listed in the side effects label should not be given to an unsupervised populace.
Violations of rights are never a “reasonable” option.
Nothing to stop a neighbor, coworker or someone that generally doesn’t like you, your color, had a disagreement with or your lifestyle from calling a “Red Flag’ for no reason other than the above and creating a nightmare difficult to get out of and permanently on your record.
The concealed carry law is unconstitutional . The government can not force you to get a permit. You should not brag about having a concealed carry permit, as you are part of this problem.
In Vermont where we have ALWAYS enjoyed the blessings of what is now referred to as “Constitutional carry”, concealed means it’s nobody’s business. If an establishment wants to require you submit to a pat-down or pass through a magnetometer to enter, then i would suggest patronizing one that wont scrutinize. Sure, the state will want to punish businesses that dont have some sort of enforcement, and place the responsibility on them. Once they get this passed in liquor-licensed establishments, the list of additional “sensitive areas” will surely be expanded. Fortunately, recent Supreme Court decisions will eventually be used to remove any such restrictions. There is a common thread in the violence taking place in Burlington, and it does not have to do with gun use.
Bingo Rich ! The “camel’s nose” from a different direction.
Yet, if you want to terminate the life of a baby (born or unborn) or sterilize a child with chemical castration or genital mutilation, perfectly fine. The Legislature will protect, support and legislate that “right.”
Perhaps people need to comprehend the sanctity of life is not the matter at hand for the despots. It is controlling and terminating lives at their discretion only. It has nothing to with firearms, it has everything to do with population control. See how US allies are making out without rights to defend themselves or their property? How much blood spilled in the streets courtesy of the UN and unelected foreign enterprises? If those citizens were armed – the EU and Aussies would not have so much cultural, social damage, loss of many innocent lives, and criminal chaos.
Alexander Hamilton – Federalist Paper 84
written on: May 28, 1788
“Why should it be said that the liberty… shall not be regulated when no power is given by which regulations shall be imposed” ?
The liberty (which is freedom under the constraint of God) Hamilton speaks of as Amendment’s (like the 2nd) which ends with a charge to the government “SHALL NOT INFRINGE”. Meaning government regulation over WE THE PEOPLE is NOT allowed ❗ This one thing will help you navigate your choices at the voting booth. This is not a Republican / Democrat issue. Our Constitution was written and ratified for all America.
ANY REGULATION is contrary to the verbage of the U.S. Constitution. Nobody should regulate or make provision to control your liberty, especially our government. That said, there is a reason why convicted felon’s loose their right to liberty, . . . . or should.
This is the game plan on many, many fronts. Work your way in locally, get your toe in the door and work from there. Because they can’t see the light of day state wide or nationally, they work on cities, getting cities to pass something that goes against the constitution. They are if anything organized, for sure.
