MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers is calling the Republican-controlled Legislature into a special session to take up a pair of gun control measures that GOP leaders have been unwilling to debate.

The move Evers announced Monday does not force Republicans to debate or vote on the bills. But it does give Democrats another means to spotlight the issues that a poll in August showed more than 80% of the public support.

Our Republican House and Assembly (Senate) is the ONLY thing holding this guy back from confiscating guns in Wisconsin.

Typical Rat.

The Republican leaders should walk in, gavel the special session in, then immediately adjourn and go back home.

“Evers wants the Legislature to take up a bill creating universal background checks for most handgun purchases.”

Insert into that bill universal background checks for Real Voter ID and Immigration. Tie all three together. Hand in hand.

Watch it die in silence.

Your republican legislature should send through exactly what the Governor wants, provided the legislation includes the MANDATE there is to be NO armed security for ANY state employee, including elected and appointed ones. Any state person who fits the prohibited class who personally employs armed security will be subject to 25 years in prison.

Evers is just flailing around, hitting the Dem Talking Points while the clock is running out. He knows he’s in over his head. He is totally One and Done!

Our Republicans aren’t afraid of fighting back. They’ll come up with some creative way to smack Evers down. ;)

Your state is not alone in this crap. I feel for you. Hope your legislature holds the line. Idiots keep pushing, sooner or later the dog bites back.

No.

Our RKBA aren’t subject to popular approval - or to the vote of politicians.

MOLON LABE!

Nice going Wisconsin. You had a jewel of a governor in Scott Walker but apparently couldn’t stand prosperity so elected this stool Evers. Yes, yes I know...it’s Madison and Filthwaukee.

I feel your pain! I wish Scott Walker was still Governor, but due to stupidity and fraud in Dane, Milwaukee and Racine Counties we are stuck with Tony Two Face for three more years.

They should hold a debate and adopt the Second Amendment verbatim, vote on it and send it to the DemonRat POS.

Sorry Republicans do not have a gun problem in this nation, it is young black male democrats who have a gun problem.

White republicans refuse to be punished because the democrats can not control their own.

Sit on it and spin democrats.

They did. But Walker shares some blame here. His presidential run was too premature, he simply wasn't ready, and he had already been in 3 elections beforehand.

Should have ran against Tammy Baldwin in the Senate.

But I'm not worried. Evers is simply a figurehead. The WI legislature is firmly in GOP hands and Evers is in his late 60s and has no political future so he's basically just an asterisk until we retake the Governorship in 2022.

After being ruled like a personal democrat fiefdom for over 104 years, of course there are some minor hiccups in paradise.

Gangs, hell. Its the Mexican Los Zetas and Sinaloa cartels that rule Milwaukee along with their Democrat partners.

What they should do is consider impeachment for a governor who tears up the constitution.

Problem is I fly there but never ever go in to town; the crew bus takes us there but I stay in the hotel and don’t leave until the next day.
