Details: Sean McKinnon, 29, of Montpelier, was sentenced 1/4/16 for stealing 12 handguns from R&L Archery on March 15, 2015. Federal prosecutors say a Vermont man is going to prison for eight years for his conviction on charges stemming from the theft of 12 handguns from a Barre gun store that were later traded for drugs in Connecticut. Prosecutors say he then drove to Hartford, Connecticut where he traded the handguns to a drug dealer for heroin and cocaine. Two days later state and federal law enforcement officers searched McKinnon's Montpelier apartment, where they recovered approximately 45 bags of heroin and other items. UPDATE 11/19/18: Sean McKinnon is one of four suspects in the October 30th murder of Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger at the Hazelton penitentiary in West Virginia.
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.
