Gun-control advocates don’t buy guns

As I asked gun-control advocates at a meeting in Bellows Falls recently, “Why don't you trust me?”

I've never done anything to anyone from GunNonSense and they couldn't pick me out of a crowd, yet I'm not capable of good judgment.

Some gentleman (a supporter) started to spout the 40-percent-without-background-checks statistic and this “gun-show loophole.”

I asked if he has ever bought a firearm in Vermont or anywhere for that matter. His response was no.

So these people who support gun control know not what they speak of.
