In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the City Council respects activists who are Second Amendment supporters. The admission came when City alder Bob Bauman attempted to ban guns near the scheduled Republican National Convention, in violation of state law and the United States and State of Wisconsin constitutions.

From wisn.com:

Bauman introduced an amendment Friday encouraging the city’s public safety committee to bypass state law and ban guns within the soft perimeter anyway.

“We may be sued. I’m not afraid of being sued,” Bauman told his colleagues.

Bauman knows his proposal is against the law.

From wtmj.com:

Milwaukee City Attorney Evan Goyke told WTMJ it would be difficult for the Common Council to restrict guns in the area even if they wanted to.

“State statute precludes local government from regulating firearm possession beyond what is regulated in state statute,” Goyke said. “Every local unit of government, including the City of Milwaukee is preempted, or precluded from, additional regulations beyond state statute.”

Wiser heads prevailed. It wasn’t fear of the state government that stopped them. The executive branch is firmly controlled by their ideological bothers in Madison, including Governor Evers.  It was fear of Second Amendment activists that stopped their illegal usurpation of power. Wisconsin Second Amendment activists have demonstrated they are savvy and passionate protectors of their constitutional rights. The majority on the City Council understood this history.

Decades of Second Amendment supporter activism in Wisconsin has earned the respect of Wisconsin politicians.

So, there is nothing in State Const about an elected official knowingly violating the law? Surely politicos are held to a higher standard of..............something.
Like Ethics?

Remove the bastid from office. Setup a recall. At the very least embarrass the state traitor.

Wow—a Google search for Alderman Bob Bauman turned up LOTS of material. Quite the loose-canon.
