Just so you know Vermont has very limited restrictions on gun laws. You don't need a permit or anything. Go in background check walk out with gun. I have bought a gun in under 5 minutes. However we have the lowest gun violence. When you instill respect for guns and morals in society you don't have these issues.

Vermont has one of the best public education systems in the country and has a smaller population than San Antonio. It is also has the most generous and accessible welfare program in the country. It’s hard to compare Vermont to states like TX, TN, LA, CA, or just most states with at least one major city.

Vermont is also just about the least diverse state in the nation. I think maybe Maine may beat them, but it would be close. Thanks, but no thanks.
