MADISON âToday, Representative Subeck (D-Madison), along with Representatives Terese Berceau, Melissa Sargent and Chris Taylor, circulated an Assembly bill that would ban the transportation, purchase, possession, or transfer of semiautomatic assault weapons in Wisconsin.
âOur nation has watched as community after community has had to confront the tragedies that occur when weapons designed to kill large numbers of people quickly get into the hands of a dangerous person,â said Representative Lisa Subeck. âNo Wisconsin community should ever have to face such a tragedy at the hands of someone armed with a semiautomatic assault weapon.â
Semiautomatic assault weapons are a class of firearms that are designed to kill large numbers of people quickly. They have been used in many high-profile shooting incidents, including the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut; the 2012 Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting; the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in that state; and the 1993 office shooting at the 101 California Street building in San Francisco.
âI can conceive of no legitimate reason that any citizen should need to own or use a semiautomatic assault weapon,â said Rep. Subeck.
A review of mass shootings between January 2009 and January 2013 by Mayors Against Illegal Guns found that incidents where assault weapons were used resulted in 135% more people shot and 57% more killed, compared to other mass shootings.
âWisconsin families want to know that they and their children are safe whether they are home, at school, at work, or out in the community,â said Rep. Subeck. âThis bill is one of several critical reforms needed to eliminate gun violence in our state.â

It is long past time to end this madness. We have 30+ years of experience and thousands of dead and wounded to attest to the stupidity of this idea. This idiotic notion must be abandoned. Common sense and a blood drenched history has shown "gun free" zones to be nothing more than an invitation to criminals. Armed law abiding citizens on-scene are the single most effective tool at ending or significantly reducing this bloodshed. Stop aiding and abetting murderers.
With a revolver, which is not gas operated, and thus NOT considered a semi-automatic weapon.

More names for your lists.
She hasnt really thought hard why someone would need a semiautomatic gun. She could just ask a police officer for several reasons. Rrasons that also apply to regular folks in the same world the cops aremin.
Obviously never been gang raped, or attacked by a group of thugs. Or attacked by one person on drugs.
Cant even talk to these absolute morons.
Dangerous people make up quite a lot of the democrat voter base.
I think she has more pressing health issues than guns
Yeah, what a stupid twit that one is.
The 2A wasn’t intended to be contingent on future gun crime statistics or emotions. Our founding fathers would be appalled at how we deal with so called gun crime.
Right you are; it was one of those.
Mail coming your way in a few minutes...
That democrat most definitely would not seize our guns, they would hire other people, and sanction them having arms to do that...
Subeck needs to get her conceiver fixed. or at least learn how to operate it.
o There are no semiautomatic assault weapons. To come under the "assault" classification, it must be fully automatic, Her conceiver tells her a lie.
o The lawful reason that any citizen may own a semiautomatic firearm is that, so far, there is no prohibition to own and bear any arm that is manually loaded or self (= auto) loaded. That ownership is Constitutionally protected, and is enough reason for a citizen to own, bear, and use it in protecting the life and property of oneself and others falling under his care.
o Any attempt to infringe this basic right is unconstitutional, an act to flout the basic guarantees for which the Constitution of Anerican government is designed.
o Any attempt to infringe this right is a criminal act. The corollary that its implementation gives superior advantage to the criminal unlawfully bearing and using such an instrument to deprive a law-abiding citizen of life, liberty, and/or the pursuit of happiness. This makes the legislator an advocate for enabling criminal behavior rather than a representative of the law-abiding citizens he/she is representing.
o Any legislator proposing such laws that aid and abet the criminal should be impeached and removed from office forthwith.
Or, like Australia, not ‘seize’ or ‘take’ your guns, but make them virtually USELESS for self-defense, as you’d face ten times as much jail time as your attacker for still having them.
At that point they offer a “no-questions-ask” buy-back and the vast majority of people simply want to forget that they were ever permitted to own them in the first place.
So, as Hillary states, it’s not that the government there took your guns, it’s that they left you with no option to hand them in yourself.
People like the fat ugly woman who introduced this (Why are so many liberal woman ugly?) are the enemy. In fact they’re more dangerous to us in the USA than ISIS. The goal of these people is to (and will without a moment’s qualm of conscience) strip you of your God given rights, and enslave you to their god - government. My personal opinion is that they should be added to Koko’s list (for you savoyards)
Ya. Good luck with that you psycho-hose-beast Subeck.
She needs to be publicly ridiculed, often, with great emphasis on her lack of knowledge of the 2nd Ammendment.
