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. |

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. |

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 |
