Limiting magazines to 10 rounds for rifles and 15 rounds for handguns violates the Vermont Constitution, gun-rights groups say in a new lawsuit.
Vermont, long considered perhaps the most gun-friendly state in the union, has passed gun control laws in the wake of the mass-shooting in Florida on February 14 and a subsequent near-miss at a high school in the Green Mountain State.
Later today a 32-year-old police officer whose friends and colleagues describe as thoughtful and honorable will have a funeral Mass in Yarmouth because a 29-year-old man with 125 entries on his rap sheet shot him in the head because he had violated probation.
Think about that. When probation was invented in the 1840s (in Boston), the point was to provide convicts with an adjustment to life on the outside so they wouldn't just go right back to stealing.
