“possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18,” which is a misdemeanor“
Hunting is big in Wisconsin. So, how do young peuple hunt?
How many young men enlisted under the age of 18 and were given a gun by the Government itself? Were any of them procecuted under this unconstitutional law? Sounds like selective prosecution here!
Lin Wood says the law only applies to 16 and under.
Writers today seem incapable of reading, or even doing a bit of research. It has already been shown repeatedly that under the law in Wisconsin it is not illegal for a person between the age of 16 and 18 to possess a rifle. The law itself is not written very clearly and you have to read past the first sentence in order to understand what it really says. Apparently that is too much work for a lot of article writers.
It would be very helpful for our nation if people writing articles could at least try to write something truthful.
Here is a link to a post I made previously which has links to the actual Wisconsin law.
And no, the various comments in my prior linked post aren’t intended for you. I just didn’t want to retype all the links to the Wisconsin statutes.
WI statute 948.60: Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18

He was not illegally carrying a rifle, its a convoluted law mainly pertaining to carrying short barreled rifles and shotguns, which are illegal, and the other statute would be if he were under 16, so, what they are saying isnt true from the start.
