I see it. Prop 5 reiterates that the VT constitution is the ' overarching ' legal framework of the state and provides "... natural, inherent, and unalienable rights."

By supporting prop 5, there will be a referendum on the primacy of the state Constitution. Said Constitution is quite thin in its description of the right to bear arms, and by extension, the additional framework that can be applied to moderate access to guns.

Passing prop 5 will open up lawsuits on several fronts, not just gun control.
