12/20/17: Chris Pearson, Vermont state legislator from Chittenden County is also active in supporting background checks in Vermont.
“I’ve come to believe that it’s really high time for Vermont to get up to speed on some pretty basic laws around guns,”
Pearson said.“It’s been hard though. Definitely a hard debate in Montpelier.”
“I actually think the smarter solution is a federal solution so you don’t have patchwork all over the country,” Pearson said in response to the pressure on the Vermont Senate to take action on gun legislation.

I’m going to push them to honor the will of Burlington voters, but it really is going to be a decision made by high-level Democrats.
(Comment: Wait, JUST the Democrats get to vote on this?)
