Vermont Gov. on Gun Control: ‘You Need a 50-State Solution... We’re Not Living in the Middle Ages’

(CNSNews.com) -- “We’re not living in the Middle Ages,” Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin said Friday as he called for national gun control legislation.

“My view on gun legislation is this: You will not solve this problem state by state. You need a 50-state solution, and we better come up with one fast,” Shumlin said last week at Politico’s Sixth Annual State Solutions Conference at the Microsoft Innovation and Policy Center in Washington, D.C.

Shumlin pushed for a "50-state solution" despite coming from a rural state where guns are commonly used for hunting.

“There’s no question there’s a different culture with guns and a different challenge for politicians in urban and rural states,” he said in response to a question made via Twitter about balancing public safety with Second Amendment rights..
