Vermont On Has Two Bump Stocks Turned In

By Tom Knighton

Vermont banned bump stocks. This is just a fact.

It’s also a fact that the state offered a no-questions-asked amnesty period last month for owners of the devices. They wanted to get the bump stocks off the streets because apparently, they’re a major menace despite the complete lack of crimes being committed in Vermont with them. They wanted them all.

They were probably a tad bit disappointed.

Vermont authorities in September said they were are not offering to pay for the now-banned devices but did warn those caught with them after Oct. 1 that they could risk up to one year in prison and $1,000 in fines. Now that the new law outlawing the devices has gone into effect, it turns out that VSP’s haul of relinquished bump fire stocks could fit on a table top.

State Police spokesman Adam Silverman said that as of Tuesday just two of the devices had been turned in statewide. Both stocks, as reported by My Champlain Valley.com, will be taken to state police headquarters in Waterbury to be destroyed. Officials have previously clarified that only the stocks were to be accepted during the grace period, detached from any firearm.
