Karas said the resolution is not an anti-gun statement but opposes the concealed-carry proposal because it would lead to more gun crimes and gun accidents.

Funny thing facts. Seems to be missing in the gun debate from the liberals.

38 or 39 states and the wild west hasn't returned. But, I chicago where guns are outlawed wackos go on a shooting spree.

Yeah boys, tell your lies. We know the facts.

Isn't this reminiscient of Sharon Stone putting a sign in her front yard saying, "Gun free residence"?

<< if Wisconsin is solidly anything, it's very conservative Democrat >>

The PEOPLE may be conservative Democrats, but the office holders are LIBERAL Democrats. On the guise of being for "the working man", the working man keeps voting in liberal idiots who tax him to death and control his every move.

Everyone knows the surest way to fight crime is to make it so only criminals carry guns. And the surest road to "gun safety" is to only let doofus drunks and gang-bangers carry guns.

That said, from what I know, I THINK the city of Racine isn't the nicest town around.
I agree and I grew up there.

I also agree and I also grew up in Racine. It's not the worst town or anything, but it definitely has its problems. I much prefer living in Simi Valley, California, which is the safest city in the nation (for populations over 100,000). And even though California allows localities to stonewall the issuance of concealed carry permits, Simi Valley has been reasonably liberal about providing them (following some public pressure a few years ago).

I drove through Racine many times on my way to or from a winter BMX race in Elkhorn. We even stayed in a motel in Racine once or twice. It didn't seem out of the ordinary, but then I didn't know it was filled with socialist utopians at the time.
