Your fears don’t trump my rights

RE: “New group brings post-Newtown debate to Vermont” [News, June 19]:

We do not need or want gun control in Vermont, Ann Braden. If you do not like our state's gun laws, you are welcome to return to Connecticut.

And there is not a right to be free from fear. Your fears do not trump my rights.

And to Rep. Linda Waite-Simpson (D-Essex Junction): We beat your attacks on our rights back once, and we stand ready to do it again.
