Vermont just today...

our Republican Governor is now talking new conversation (in reverse from just last night) about guns

"Only by the grace of God and the courage of a young woman who spoke up did we avert a horrific outcome,"

An 18-year-old Poultney man pleaded not guilty Friday afternoon to charges including attempted murder in connection with the threat of a mass shooting at Fair Haven Union High School.
Police said former student Jack Sawyer indicated he wanted to cause "mass casualties" at the Rutland County school of about 400 students in ninth through 12th grades in an attack he had been planning for two years.
Sawyer detailed his plot in a journal he titled "Diary of an Active Shooter," (In it, were lists of weapons he intended to buy, plans for how to carry out the shooting and a list of current and former students who he wanted to die. )
