Articles On Candidate's Stance and Actions on Gun Control: |
Source #3: 3/8/2018: Seth Bongartz Chair, Burr and Burton Academy Board of Trustees Manchester. Letter to the Editor: "We call on both our legislature and the United States Congress to enact rational policy to keep our students safe from gun violence."
"But automatic rifles, armor piercing bullets and clips that hold more than a handful of shells have nothing to do with Vermont's hunting culture. These items should not be sold. We are in favor of background checks extending to gun shows and we are in favor of short waiting periods so that background checks can be thorough."
"Finally, we feel the need to point out that the idea of arming teachers makes no sense. A gun in the hands of someone not trained for combat or a swat team is, at best, of no help and , at worst, an invitation to increased danger."

Source #2: 4/9/2020: This guy is running only because Cynthia Browning was brave enough to stand up for Vermonters against the dictators under the Golden Dome, by calling out their illegal manuever to allow voting from OUTSIDE of the House chambers. What the Democrats did was a violation of the Vermont Constitution and will hold negative repercussions for evermore.
