Grand old Badger State!
We, your loyal sons and daughters,
Hail thee, good and great.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Champion of the right,
“Forward”, our motto,
God will give thee might!
We cannot afford to have concealed weapons in our schools and we need to trust our local elected officials when deciding where weapons are permitted or prohibited.
Other than that, I’m not sure how a Democrat controlled State Senate will impact gun rights in Wisconsin. According to Wisconsin Gun Owners, both Lehman and Wanggaard were rated “F” on gun rights in their first match-up in 2010. Moreover, Wanggaard was not one of the sponsors of the bill approving shall-issue concealed carry in Wisconsin though he did vote for final passage of the bill. That bill passed the State Senate 25-8 which means it was passed with both Democrats and Republicans voting for it.
As with anything political, only time will tell how the change in control of the Wisconsin State Senate will impact gun rights in the Badger State.
There are two reasons that you don't have to worry about a "Democratic controlled" State Senate.
1. They aren't meeting until the next election.
2. Redistricting
They appear to have won a single seat to a legislative body that will not be doing anything until the next time they have to be elected, and the Republican controlled redistricting process means that the R's are supposed to pick up two seats just due to the new districts.
Can you say "Pyrrhic Victory?" I knew you could.
