Details: What we find out is that criminals, who are not legally allowed to carry guns, have no concern for bringing their illegal firearms across the border from NEW YORK into Vermont to aid in their DRUG DEALING!
The Brattleboro Reformer has an excellent article that clears up the garbage from the WCAX article.
"A witness told police that Robull Bryant, 37, of Putney, and Jason Bunch, 41, of Brooklyn, N.Y., were in a dispute over a $30 drug debt."
"The argument escalated until Alfred Spellman retrieved a firearm," police said. "At this time, Robison and (another male) attempted to leave the residence."
A "gunfight" ensued, but NO ONE WAS HURT.
"Bryant and Bunch have been under investigation by the Vermont Drug Task Force and Homeland Security Investigations since last year, suspected of trafficking heroin, powder cocaine, and crack cocaine in Windham County. In the spring of 2016, the VDTF learned from various sources of information that Bryant had moved his drug business from Brattleboro to Putney." |
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. |
