Hillary Clinton misleads with Vermont gun claim; even supporters say it’s inaccurate
Washington Times ^ | April 12, 2016 | Ben Wolfgang

In an attempt to score political points against Sen. Bernard Sanders, Hillary Clinton now says that the senator’s home state of Vermont is a key culprit in New York gun crime — but federal data show that claim is misleading at best, and even some of Mrs. Clinton’s own supporters turned on her Tuesday and said her argument is simply false.

She didn’t want to stay home and bake cookies.

We’d be better off if she had.

Apparently those Vermont guns behave well at home, but when they cross the state line into NY, they go berserk.

Hmmm, I wonder if there are any demographic differences between Vermont and NY?

Yeah. In VT, little restriction on gun ownership (click here).

In NY, morbidly looming SAFE law against gun ownership, always set against handguns (click here).

Where it is criminal to own guns, only criminals will have guns."

Simply, NY State has more laws for residents to violate, hence more arrests.
