Andrew Cuomo calls the law&apos;s provisions &quot;common sense.&quot; It closes loopholes in the state&apos;s assault weapons ban and limits magazine clips to seven bullets; background checks will now be required for ammunition purchases; and for private sale of guns, and there will be stiffer penalties for using illegal weapons.Gun buyers and gun sellers are giving the rules a close read. In the North Country, buying a gun doesn&apos;t always mean heading to a big box store like Gander Mountain or Dick&apos;s.

<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 27, 2012) Prepping for surgery can be a long, paper-driven process. A patient often has to sit on the phone detailing their medical history for a nurse — again.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19640/20120409/vermont-considers-driver-apos-s-licenses-for-migrant-workers</link>
