While we may be well versed in the true meaning of Freedom of Speech and our First Amendment rights, Guy Page and I are no gun experts. Which is why we rely on our friends over at Parro’s Gun Shop in Waterbury to help us navigate all of the legal nuances with our Second Amendment Right to bare arms.
Lawmakers on February 28 introduced, H.381 a bill that seeks to prohibit the manufacture, distribution, sale, purchase, or transfer of gas-operated semi-automatic firearms, a category that includes popular rifle models like the AR-15.
Some critics of me personally said that I didn’t know what I was talking about when it came to this bill. “The bill (H.381) targets gas-operated systems, mainly in assault rifles, not all semiautomatics. Pistols and submachine guns typically use blowback systems (not that you’d know Paul). Maybe read the bill before freaking out next time.” wrote Sam Donnelly on X in reply to my post“Vermont liberal lawmakers trying to ban Semiautomatic weapons…”
“For someone who claims to care about transparency and truth, you sure do generalize and mislead people a lot,” replied Donelly as a final little jab.
In fact, the AR-15 (which stands for Armalite Rifle, not Assault Rifle as often assumed), is a gas-operated firearm.
Opponents, such as myself, Guy Page, and Parro’s Gun Shop, see the bill as an overreach that infringes on Second Amendment rights. Upon further research and review of the proposed legislation, users on X pointed out below Sam’s post that gas-operated systems included a very high percentage of firearms.
So we determined it was worth a trip over to Parro’s to become a little more familiar with what we were talking about! Yesterday we had the opportunity to go up to Parro’s and shoot some gas operated firearms on their state of the art facility for REAL education. Firearms we shot included the AR-15, AK-47, and Fully Automatic MP5.
Here is Jaxson from Parrro’s explaining gas operated AR-15 as well as me testing out the AK-47 and AR-15:
It seems the White House and the newly appointed FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino were in alignment with out content yesterday posting this to their X page following Bongino’s visit to the the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Guy Page and I will be discussing this more today on Friday at Four, as well as the State of Freedom of Speech in Vermont, Our Gun rights, updates on the Clean Heat Stand Repeal, Education, and more!
Be sure to tune in at Four!

The simple fact is that there is no advantage in fire rate, muzzle velocity, general lethality or suitability for criminal use with gas-operated semi-automatics compared to any other semi-automatic. This “category” is being scapegoated by Vermont’s gun grabber community who want to take a away one small slice at a time, like they have already done with magazine capacity limits, the 72-hour waiting period and “safe” storage requirements.
“Gas operated” just sounds scary to the unenlightened gun-phobe. Thanks for the demonstration.
Never mind gas operated, semi-automatic. If Commiecrats had a brain they would ban the pump action 12-gauge shotgun. Nine 0.330 caliber pellets one pull of the trigger. But it’s about power. No war was ever won without the common infantryman and his rifle, and they know that rifle is a threat to their power.
Why do American citizens need guns? Because criminals have guns and our government and judiciary is compromised and corrupt.
US House Judiciary December 6, 2022: Operation Fast and Furious was a high-profile scandal that ensnared former President Barack Obama’s Justice Department, the ATF, and ex-Attorney General Eric Holder. The imbroglio saw federal agents allow more than 2,000 firearms to be sold illegally to known or suspected straw purchasers.
At the time, the federal government hoped the weapons could be used to track and ultimately arrest the high-ranking leaders of drug cartels in Mexico. The sting operation backfired, however, with the guns being used to facilitate crimes along the U.S.-Mexico border. The scandal came to light in 2011 shortly after two firearms involved in the sting were found at a crime scene where a U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed.”
“Shall not be infringed” *Unless the government and NGO’s create enough false flags, provide and/or sell the guns and ammo directly to the perpetrators. They have become emboldened to infringe and trample over every single Constitutional right with impunity. No honor among thieves and reprobates.
The FBI, ATF, DEA, DHS, IRS, EPA, Dept. of Labor, Postal Service, Bureau of Land Management and other government agencies all use the AR-15. In those agencies hands they are called PDWs or Personal Defense Weapons. They call our AR-15s Assault Weapons and Weapons of War. Only good for killing as many people as possible. Got it yet?
And the Vermont State Police

Inflation is causing the price of ammo and firearms to increase and a poor person will not be able to buy his freedom. Many of these expenses have doubled in the last ten years.
Predatory criminals need to take note of the high cost of ammunition and realize that a warning shot should not always be counted on…
