Hillary is going around NY and blaming VT for gun deaths in NY.
This is a BLATANT LIE but as we know that does not stop Hillary. The silence from elected officials in VT is deafening.
In 2013 and 2014, the states where the most number of out-of-state crime guns originated were Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida and Georgia. The state with the most number of guns per 100,000 people was, indeed, Vermont.
But 1 percent of crime guns whose sources were identified in 2014 originated from Vermont: 55 of 4,585.
Crime guns in New York from Vermont is a recent trend. From 2006 to 2012, Vermont was not listed as a top 15 state for crime guns in New York from Vermont, ATF data show.

(3,040 posts)...that the MSM is running Hillary's talking points without question. I heard this talking point on NPR in my car this morning and they didn't correct it at all.
I'll be writing an email today.
