We can overcome our differences and do the right thing with gun laws in Wisconsin
Madison.com ^ | 4 nov 2019 | Melissa Sargent | Democratic member, Wisconsin Assembl

Posted on 11/04/2019 5:11:41 AM PST by rellimpank

Teachers. Students. Parents. Doctors. Business owners. Law enforcement. Hunters. Gun owners.

Over the past seven years that I have had the honor to serve my state, these are just some of the many voices I have had the opportunity to hear from and the pleasure to represent here in the Wisconsin State Capitol. My favorite part of my job as a state representative is to be able to meet with individuals of all backgrounds and belief systems, and to hear the diverse perspectives about the best way to move our state forward.

I wonder if Melissa has discussed her ideas with the criminals in Milwaukee and elsewhere in that state? Surely, they would give valuable input, wouldn’t they?

Get rid of those gun shows where you can just walk in and buy 50 caliber AR-15’s that have high magazine clips that shoot a thousand rounds a minute.

Its always about them. That other people might have another perspective doesn’t occur to them.

And our rights aren’t meant to be bargained away because Democrats want It.

Too many lives have been cut short by the violence of abortion. As for guns, the number of deaths by guns has declined nationally. Shootings in big cities like Milwaukee are usually gang-related. Democrats over the years did a fine job of creating a welfare state with fatherless families and neighborhoods where crime is rampant.

What she’s really talking about overcoming is that pesky li’l Second Amendment...

Leaving gun owners alone is doing the right thing.

A food store I frequent has a new sign in the window. “No Gun Zone”. I asked a manager if people intent on robbing the store would adhere to their rule. He said, “better to have warned than not at all”. Me...“So a guy intent on robbing the store will think twice because of your no gun rule”? “Any guns in possession of anyone is cause for alarm.”

Common sense vs emotion. Conservative vs liberal. I Then asked “what’s better...a law abiding citizen with a gun to shoot the criminal that didn’t follow your rule”? Or “ nobody has a gun but the criminal”? “I have work to do please fill out a complaint card if you don’t like it”.

Do the right thing: no permits and constitutional carry.

Why bother? We’re all going to be dead from climate change in 10 years anyway, or so I am repeatedly (since the 80’s!!!) told. /sarc

“These policies have widespread public support, including dissenting voices in the NRA, Republican lawmakers and President Trump, doctors, social workers and employers. Further, those on the front lines — including business owners, gun shops, counties and municipalities, law enforcement and more — have been calling on the state Legislature to act.”

BS! This needs a barf alert.

The “right thing” would be to support constitutional carry.
