Wisconsins governor Scott Walker passed three new laws, addressing domestic violence. The laws include a mandate that police track the incidents where no arrests are made when dealing with a domestic-disturbance call.
The laws also make it very clear that there will be a process for seizing an abusers guns.
This section of the law was proposed by Republican Rep. Andre Jacque of De Pere, and also requires district attorneys to report to the Wisconsin Department of Justice each time a cop responds to a domestic abuse call and doesnt arrest anyone.
Republican Rep. Garey Bies proposed in the third law passed, that people subject to a domestic-abuse injunction must fill out a form to document, and then surrender their weapons. When the individuals injunction expires, they would have to request them back in writing.
This is one more big step toward trying to make sure that for every gun you take away, its that much better for (a victim, their) family and friends and loved ones who care about that person, Walker said.
These extreme measures are being put forth equipped with a sob story of a tragic incident involving a deadly case of domestic abuse. Are these measure going to help domestic violence? Probably not but it will help disarm the population.
The governor signed 55 other bills at the state capitol , one measure prohibits people from advertising their children for adoption online, while another legalizes the use of marijuana byproduct cannabidiol to treat childrens seizures.
Other bills of note allow University of Wisconsin System researchers to perform classified national security work in campus facilities, give county jailors more authority to strip search inmates, and legalize nonprofits rubber-duck race fundraisers. The state Justice Department has warned such races amount to illegal gambling.
Would they take away my hands too, because if I were an abuser there would be nothing stopping me from strangling her.
He coulda been a contender...but he’s just bum. (

I once explained to my wife that if she ever got really mad at me and lied to the police that I had abused her, all of the guns in my collection would be confiscated and our sons would never inherit them.
She knows how much my sons are looking to inheriting my collection. The family rule is that they can start splitting up my tools while I am assuming room temperature but they have to wait until after the funeral to start arguing over the guns.
Little do my sons know but I lost all of my guns in a tragic boating accident on the Ohip River.
They should also confiscate all the kitchen knives, baseball bats, lamps, golf clubs and everything else in the house that can be used to kill someone. Geesh!
Very surprising. Wow
OK, who is the abuser? Presumption of innocence, anyone?
Bummer. Another one bites the dust.
In TX, if you call 9/11 in a domestic dispute, ONE of the disputers is going to jail. May not be the law, but it’s the absolute practice.
NO, he has always been a BUM like a lot of us have pointed out over and over, you just bought his shit hook, line and sinker. You and all the other I love Scott Walker for President folks.
The state is taking custody of women... that means no guns for women.
This is completely irrational given that women can have access to self defense.
Not at all, folks have NO discernment to save there lives. he loves illegal aliens and gun grabbers!
South Carolina is looking better and better.
Plastic bags are also very dangerous.
.
It isn’t just the guns issue; I’m not a big fan of guns. In my mind, Walker is DONE. We can’t risk politicians who don’t live up to their campaign promises. We’ve been stung too many times by frauds.
“I once explained to my wife that if she ever got really mad at me and lied to the police that I had abused her...”
Sorry if it sounds harsh, but it sounds like you should be concerned more about your wife than the gubmint confiscating your guns.
Texas doesn’t allow open carry.
South Carolina won’t honor a lot of out of state carry permits.
We are slowly getting rid of the dumb laws in Indiana. Next is the ban on short barrel shotguns.
