State of Vermont secondary Archives: on Gun Control


Keith Stern: Supports 2nd Amendment; but some people will commit crimes

I want to make it clear that I stand behind the 2nd Amendment; we have a fundamental right to defend ourselves against those who seek to harm us, to feed our families and as the Second Amendment states "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." In a free society we must accept that people have free will and sometimes people will commit crimes whether it's using a car, a knife, or a gun.
