Candidate Gun Quotes:
Quote #1:
Welch on restricting the 2nd Amendment: If we're there and we talk about this in an open way, we acknowledge that we just can't expose our kids to this kind of threat.
But we can do that in a way where we respect the long tradition that we're really proud of in Vermont of responsible gun use.
I mean what happened in Newtown has nothing to do with responsible gun use, obviously so what steps can we take, all of us, including the NRA to be responsible and try to take practical steps that are going to avert this from happening again.
Candidate Articles:

Article showing the hypocrisy of Vermont politicians and the NRA that gives high rating to anti-gun politicians.
Article #2:
Welch backs gun control, laments Congressional in-fighting
