A Wisconsin state lawmaker says the shooting at a Madison mall over the weekend shows that it's necessary to expand gun owners' rights so people can protect themselves.

Republican Rep. Bob Gannon said in a statement Monday that there would be less crime if more people were trained to shoot at someone who threatened them, like a mall shooter.

Somebody gets it.

I hope he is prepared for the coming backlash.

That’s what we’ve been saying all along. Yet you called us fools.

The public at large has finally quit believing the undocumented anti-gunner’s lies. People just don’t believe bullshit forever.

“well regulated” means in proper working order.

I’m still awaiting my constitutionally mandated range time and training.

Took them long enough, but YEAH! Let everyone CCW and kill the bastards that come in shooting. I'm okay with a Lot #42 (OK Corral) if it saves one life. Sorry about the inadvertent deaths by those who don't practice safe gun-handling and keep their weapons out of reach from their children. Collateral damage is a fact of war and we ARE in a war against the "gimmedats" and terrorists.

“Well regulated”, irrespective of what it means refers only to the militia; not their weapons. The peoples right to bear those is specifically not to be infringed.

This is not going to hurt someone from Slinger, Wisconsin. It is a small village. It will be a resume enhancer.

For decades, since about 1965, this position was censored from the media. With the new media, since about 1994, It has become mainstream.

The old media no longer controls the flow of information.
