10/29/2020: Republican running in Addison-1 for balance
"If elected, Hughes said he’d oppose proposals to tighten gun laws in Vermont. Scott in 2018 signed into law several gun safety measures that, among other things, expanded background checks, limited the capacity of ammunition magazines, banned bump sticks and required minors to take a hunter safety course before being allowed to buy a firearm.
Scott took this action after a Poultney resident Jack Sawyer was arrested in February of 2018 after having allegedly planned an attack on Fair Haven Union High School.
“What we have is a problem of mental health, not a gun safety problem,” Hughes countered, adding “(gun control) doesn’t look like an urgent issue in Vermont.”
