Slinging legal arguments that never mentioned the right to bear arms, gun rights advocates argued before the Wisconsin Supreme Court Friday for the right to carry handguns on city buses.
The dispute began when Wisconsin Carry Inc. sued the City of Madison in January 2014, challenging Madison's Transit and Parking Commission for passing a rule forbidding "weapon[s] of any kind" on Madison Metro buses, according to a case summary provided by the Supreme Court's public information office.
So far, Wisconsin Carry has been unsuccessful both in the state court and in a lower appeals court. |

Private property is not public property.
Transit buses are public property. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
