A new proposal in the state Legislature is making headlines, but not because it would do anything good for Wisconsin.
The proposal wouldn’t improve schools or find a way to fix our state’s crumbling roads. Instead, it would allow anyone to carry a concealed weapon without requiring they first obtain a permit or even take a safety class to do so. The bill would also allow gun owners to carry their weapons on school grounds in some cases.
This proposal is wrong for the state for so many reasons. But one of the main proponents of it, state Sen. David Craig, R-Vernon, defended the bill recently by suggesting it was a constitutional right that would make the state safer. |

Permits to take part in a constitutinal Right are not constitutional |

This writer regurgitates the witless position that individual rights must be justified, rather than respected as inviolate.
Which is not, BTW, a true American ethic at all. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
