"Vermont State Rep. Fred Maslack has recently proposed a bill to register "non-gun-owners" 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.
Under the bill, adults who choose not to own a firearm would be required to register their name, address, Social Security Number, and driver's license number with the state.
There is a legitimate government interest in knowing who is not prepared to defend the state should they be asked to do so," Maslack says."
