The Vermont House of Representatives has approved gun control legislation in what has been one of the most gun-friendly states in the nation.
The legislation would raise the minimum age to purchase firearms to 21, require universal background checks for purchases, ban bump-fire stocks, and ban magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, according to Seven Days.
Nine state troopers have been suspended without pay in connection with the phantom shift scandal, while another nine retired immediately rather than go through a disciplinary hearing, State Police said.
In all, at least 21 state police officers have been found to have been paid overtimes for shifts on the Massachusetts Turnpike in 2016 they didn't work.
