Message: From GoLocalProv by Carol Anne Costa, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: Last year, with the Newtown massacre fresh, the Obama administration began advancing new gun regulations, many states including Rhode Island’s General Assembly started the move toward a gun reform package, and it sent local municipalities scrambling to review town and city policies and safety measures for guns and public buildings, particularly schools. With the nation mourning and angry, a flurry of gun and 2nd Amendment debate and legislation moved through the process on many levels from kitchen tables’ right up to the Oval Office. People formed strong opinions on access to guns, permitting procedures, mental health screenings and those positions proved steadfast on every side of the issue. Right here in the rural and bucolic Town of Exeter similar reviews of gun policies were under scrutiny and a political firestorm that resulted in a recall election ensued. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/carol-anne-costa-exeters-recall-why-the-people-won
