Do Gun Owners Want Gun Control?
By Jess Bidgood and Sabrina Tavernise
Tom Galinat signed a letter to lawmakers, urging them to expand background checks for
gun purchases. Mr. Galinat, 35, a farmer and hunter who owns nine guns, traveled last month from
his home in Peacham, Vt., to Montpelier, the state capital, with a firm goal in mind: Convince
lawmakers to enact a ban on high-capacity magazines.
Jonathan Leach, 56, a policy analyst in Augusta, Me., and the owner of about 10 guns,
testified before Maine legislators in favor of a bill to let judges order people deemed dangerous to
surrender their firearms. Mr. Leach said he wanted to serve as a counterweight to gun rights
enthusiasts he knew would speak against the idea.
