The Wisconsin sign reminds me of one I saw when entering Pennsylvania in the early ‘90s from NJ. NJ’s Gov. Florio had just jammed his Assault Weapons Ban down our throats, and PA’s Gov. Casey (the elder) was very pro-gun. To Florio’s great annoyance, Casey had signs posted on every road leading from NJ into PA the following sign:

“Welcome to Pennsylvania. America starts here.”

I even have a picture of it with me standing next to it. My friend and I, on the way to a gun show to buy stuff that was blatantly illegal in NJ (”evil” “high capacity” magazines), stopped right away to snap photos.
