Kenosha County supervisors have voted to oppose new gun restrictions and lift a ban on firearms in county buildings.

The vote comes a day after the Highland Park parade shooting that left seven dead and dozens injured in neighboring Illinois and a July Fourth shooting in Kenosha that killed one person and injured four others.

Supervisor Terry Rose was one of the board members opposed to loosening restrictions on firearms, citing the poor timing of the vote.

“We didn’t expect to have a shooting in Highland Park yesterday or shooting here in Kenosha on the Fourth of July. But it does demonstrate to you that guns are a problem in the community. And I don’t think that we’d contribute to the security of this county by allowing guns in county buildings,” Rose said during discussion of the resolution Tuesday.

"But it does demonstrate to you that guns are a problem in the community."

Obviously Kyle Rittenhouse can’t be there to save the day every time miscreants act up! ;)

The creep that shot up Highland Park over the weekend also drove to, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ and considered shooting into a crowd there, too! Luckily, he felt the gathering wasn’t large enough for him to be able to kill enough people, so he left. Then, got arrested on his way back to IL.

What a messed up world we’re living in.

It’s going to happen in Madistan on of these days; I’d bet the farm on it. They have a LOT of mental midgets roaming free!

(I’m one county over to the west where the sane and armed citizens WILL shoot back at you!)

Fact - only 1.3% of those arrested for gun crimes got their weapons through retail/legal methods.
