To The Editor:
I'd like to respond to the article in The Valley Reporter about this month's Gun Owners of Vermont meeting. It is true someone did stand up and speak his beliefs that the government has a goal of knowing where all firearms are in the country and he was holding a book titled Nobody Died at Sandy Hook and did say that the large-scale attacks involving guns are orchestrated to incite fear into the media and the public. What was left out of the article is that he also stated that he knew we would consider him a conspiracy nut. I'd like to make it clear that Gun Owners of Vermont does not subscribe to these beliefs. And his message was his and his alone. When I checked at the state level he is not even a member of Gun Owners of Vermont. Gun Owners of Vermont meetings are open to anyone who wants to come and speak. We even had at least one GunSenseVT member this month and I was glad to see he showed up. We are not, however, responsible for everything said at our meetings and while I disagree with his statement, I respect his right to his beliefs and everyone is still welcome at our meetings.
