How does Vermont law address the possession of firearms by individuals convicted of violent crimes?

It is prohibited
It is allowed after a 5-year waiting period
It is allowed with special permission from the court
There are no specific prohibitions

The correct answer is: It is prohibited

Potential explanation Vermont law strictly prohibits individuals convicted of violent crimes from possessing firearms. This is to help prevent potential harm or violence by keeping firearms out of the hands of those who have previously exhibited violent behavior. Options B and C are incorrect because they suggest that there may be some circumstances where an individual with a violent crime conviction may be allowed to possess firearms, which is not the case under Vermont law. Option D is incorrect because, as stated, Vermont law does have a specific prohibition against possession of firearms for individuals with violent crime convictions.
