Twenty elementary kids,was shot along with six adults, the shootings in Chicago and other cities is out of hand, nine people in a church was shot at a prayer service, when does it stop. Five times he voted against the Brady Bill which provided some background checks, it does not make any sense. I live in a state where there is much more rural area than Vermont has in total. If the NRA or any other group could come up with a decent and sensible regulations then they need to produce it.
