Details: Vermont State Police have concluded an investigation into numerous burglaries in the Corinth area in May of 2014. Per the Vermont State Police: "Investigation found that Kevin Fuller and Jennifer Burke took the items, including a rifle and ammunition, they stole from various residences and sold them to Troy Perry, the owner of In Seasons Consignment Shop in Bradford. Perry traded methadone and marijuana in place of cash for the stolen items." Police charged Troy Perry (38) from Bradford; Kevin Fuller (33) and Jennifer Burke (25) both from Vershire, with numerous drug charges, including the "use of a firearm during the sale/purchase of a drug" (not sure how the stolen rifle was "used", but just the simple possession is a felony in our justice system). Nearly 100 marijuana plants and a "highly sophisticated hydroponic growing system" as well as processed marijuana.
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.
