Not helpful having a Democrat for a governor though. He’ll raise our taxes till the cows come home, but doesn’t want people to be able to defend themselves... go figure...

SOP for the modern Demoncrat. Wasn't always so.

"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms.... The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America but which historically has proven to be always possible."

Yep... Democrats of OLD are MUCH different than the Democrats of modern-day. I really wish all the farmers here in Wisconsin would realize that!!! * Smacks self on forehead * I don’t think that many of them realize that the Democrat Party has strayed so far from their OLD ways... (Thank the socialists for that!!!).

I don't buy it for a minute; my bet is it was just posturing. What do you bet his vote was on The Arms Control and Disarmament Act (PL 87-297) passed by voice vote in 1961?
