Despite overwhelming support at Town Meeting in six Upper Valley towns for gun control, the Valley News reported on Friday that gun control advocates "have all but given up hope" that any legislation will get enacted this year in Montpelier. A listserv post, 898 to 132, intimated that our local state representatives Jim Masland and Margaret Cheney were not doing enough to ban assault weapons. State Rep Masland disagreed, saying that despite the Valley News report, "a sensible [gun control] bill will emerge from House Judiciary and pass over to the Senate."
