This resolution pretends to speak for all Vernon County residents, opposing any and all "common sense" gun safety laws in Vernon County. No matter that I and everyone else that I know actually support these laws. No matter that Vernon County residents showed up in the overwhelming majority to oppose this very resolution at a July committee meeting. No matter that Wisconsinites and Americans - including a majority of gun-owners - overwhelmingly support common sense gun laws. |

"No matter that . . . Americans - including a majority of gun-owners - overwhelmingly support common sense gun laws."
Repeating that lie doesn't make it true. The vast majority of gun owners don't approve of restrictions that only affect law-abiding, peaceable people, which all gun laws do - DE FACTO. Criminals don't obey laws, and they don't discriminate about which ones they violate. They don't get background checks, they don't get carry permits, they have no compunction about using guns to commit crimes, including but not limited to robbery and murder.
Stick a hose in your ear, turn the water up full blast, and pressure-wash that leftist propaganda out of your head. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
