Details: According to WPTZ, "On Christmas Eve, state troopers interviewed a man arrested for robbing a convenience store who claimed he lived across the street from Pappano."
Following up on the claim that Christopher Pappano "stored stolen guns in a garage across the street", FOUR government agencies, including Grand Isle Sherriff, "Border Patrol, Vermont State Police, and Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives teams stormed Pappano's home", to find a SINGLE .45 caliber pistol.
Yes, a SINGLE pistol.
Christopher Pappano of Milton was charged with possessing a firearm.
Pappano served 90 days for a felony drug charge in 2013. Felonies carry a penalty of over a year, why was he out after 90 days?

On a side-note, this case of Mr Papanno was used by Michael Bloomberg and his Everytown "sting" operation to push for Universal Background Checks in Vermont.
Unfortunately, the facts of the case appear to point to the firearm being left at his home by an associate.

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.
