Can you say "Political Suicide"?

Bump

Let him try. One less person to worry about running for Governor this year. The voters of Wisconsin might be split Rep/Dem, but there's a big majority on gun issues.

By the way, where the hell did the idea for this bill come from??

[Always A Marine]

Speaking out for the "hunters" is right, of course. But it strikes me as just beating around the bush to avoid the real issue...

The Second Amendment was not intended to protect the rights of hunters and sportsmen, but to guarantee Citizens the means to protect their freedoms against government tyranny. We cannot assume that everyone understands this anymore; we must begin to speak plainly...

[Mulder]

This is perhaps the most overt act of treason against the United States and the Constitution as I have ever seen.

And it should be dealt with as such.

[Don Joe]

It's comedy hour across the pond!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Let them pass it and let the war begin now.

[Eagle Eye]

LOL! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, you were serious? This AIN'T an Onion article?

Your state Senator is nuts. Your state is so large and spread out it would be hard for law enforcement to protect. A terrorist attack would overtax most suburban police forces and leave the rest of the community unprotected and on their own. The 9/11 attack in NYC tied up 1/3 of its police force and emergency assets. I come from a built up state of New Jersey. Our largest suburban township is 16 square miles, population 36,000 but only 100 man police force. About half are staff and admin, leaving only 50 for line duties. They operate in 3 shifts plus one swing shift to cover shift changes. Approximately 12 officers are available during on patrol and represents the immediate reaction force. It doesn't take a genius to figure our that it doesn't take much for terrorists to overtax them. THE CONSTITUTION MAY HAVE ARMED THE CITIZEN TO CHECK GOVERNMENT AGAINST TYRANNY, BUT THE CONSTITUTION ALSO ARMED THE CITIZEN SO THEY CAN HELP GOVERNMENT IN A TIME OF NEED. WE the gunowners need to remind the politicians of that point. We are not an obstacle to law and order, we are an asset.

Ping.

[riverrunner]

And Jim Doyle thinks he has a chance to become governor. i hope he keeps makeing these stuip statements. Most of wis is not from the state of madison.

[BraveMan]

Thanks, gnarledmaw, for the heads-up . . .

We should drop the senator a note to express our opinions regarding this matter. I'm sure he'd love to hear from his FReeper constituents . . .

In 1998, Wisconsin voters amended the state Constitution to protect the right of law-abiding citizens to posses and use firearms.

So, am I to infer from this sentence in the article that prior to 1998, the state Constitution did not include the right to keep and bear arms that is in the US Constitution? Do states have the right to deny their citizens any rights that are in the US Constitution? If a right enumerated and guaranteed in the US Constitution is not in a State Constutution, then a resident of that state doesn't have the same constitutional rights as US citizens in other states?

I simply am not clear on this concept.

[WIladyconservative]

Never underestimate the spin machine and the sheeples in Wisconsin . . I'll do my part and make some calls, write some letters.

[turk99]

Unreal!! What is wrong with this idiot? I can't believe people still think they can make us safer by taking away our guns.

[quietolong]

YGBSM Is this for real ????? It’s not an Onion type piece is it ??

If so..

1. Is the Fix in.

2. Get all the details.

3. Start the Recall now.

4. Make posters & flyers up and put them everywhere.

Is a state that sends 600000+ people into the deer woods and out of the 350-400 mega people in WI with 90 % armed what are they thinking ?? ( see item #1)

Will give Dave Z a call Mon.

How about Dave Zien for Gov. ( and who would we get to replace him if he won ? )

[quietolong]

I checked with Senator Dave Zien today And this is true

press release from Dave Z web sight

[First_Salute]

My response to the governor:

No more purchases of any kind of product from Wisconsin; no more chain saws; no more lawn care products; no tractors; no trailers; no aluminum products; etc. No traveling to nor through Wisconsin.

Gee how I am going to not like surrendering my Milwaukee tools, drill, SawZall, etc.

Tsk. Tsk.
