In a case that sought to put the first dent in Wisconsin's ban on felons possessing guns, the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a constitutional challenge from a man who became a felon for not paying child support.
The ruling upheld the conviction of Leevan Roundtree, who had argued the law is unconstitutional in his case because his underlying felony conviction was for a nonviolent offense more than 10 years before he was found with a gun, convicted and sent to prison. |

Amy Barrett wouldn't agree.
I hope she gets her teeth into one of these before long. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
