Details: This is NOT a "VT Gun Incident" as GunSense leads the reader to believe. A firearm stolen from a Vermont household was recovered from felons in MA.
Springfield, Massachusetts police and federal agents arrest two armed men in Springfield, Massachusetts (Not Springfield, Vermont).
Both were considered "dangerous suspects with prior felony convictions".
Dashaun Scott was allegedly involved in the illegal sale of firearms previously that week.
The firearm recovered from Tyrone Jones, a loaded .40 caliber Smith & Wesson semi-automatic, had been reported stolen from a Brattleboro, Vermont home.
A rifle was also recovered at the scene. |
NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it. |
