WI GOP Platform 2022: 2. Blame Dem Cities for Gun Violence, demand occupying force (National Guard) in Milwaukee, and want to lower gun age to 18, offering school gun classes and guns on school grounds...etc
There is no connection between the theoretical Republican vision of American society and the real world. Now we have even more proof.
More Guns, Safer Society Myth: Republicans confidently told us that criminals would be frightened off by not knowing who had a concealed weapon, resulting in lower crime rates. How’d that work out? Just nonfatal shooting alone…
The Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission recorded a total of 857 nonfatal shootings in 2021 – about 93% more than that of 2019.
Mass Shootings Ignored. Think about that: These recent headlines show how disastrous that dumb idea was..
Still, clueless Republicans decided to blamed Democrats in Milwaukee for a statewide gun policy, ultimately resulting in a request to turn Wisconsin into a POLICE STATE…not kidding.
Republican Rep. Joe Sanfelippo: “The vast majority of citizens living in Milwaukee are peace-loving, law-abiding citizens who deserve better than to live and work in a warzone-like setting.”Democratic Rep. David Bowen: “I hope that Rep. Sanfelippo is aware that sending the National Guard into our communities — literally imposing an occupying force on our neighborhoods — will do nothing but escalate already tense situations. This knee jerk reaction of sending in actual military forces without any training in community relations would make an already bad situation even worse.”
Will this sell more guns? Is this nothing more than a gun seminar and right-wing indoctrination? My god yes, check out the sales pitch, which by the way does not include funding:
Bill co-author Rep. Treig Pronschinske, R-Mondovi said it would require the state superintendent to create a curriculum that includes information on the different types and mechanisms of firearms and ammunition, the principles of firearm safety, the location of safety devices, how to load and unload a gun, how to engage safety devices and how to carry and transport a gun.
Salon: Wisconsin Republicans just passed a spate of gun-rights measures that include lowering the state’s concealed carry age requirement from 21 to 18, effectively allowing high school students to carry firearms on school grounds.
Laws Republicans don’t like don’t matter, so state legislators ignored federal law, creating a “gray” market for firearms for kids:
Under the Gun Control Act (GCA), all firearms other than shotguns and rifles, and all ammunition other than ammunition for shotguns or rifles may be sold only to individuals 21 years of age or older.Jeri Bonavia, executive director of Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort (WAVE), told an NBC Chicago affiliate, “this age group that they’re talking about would likely need to be purchasing their gun from the gray market, from private sellers, which means that there would be no background check conducted on those purchases.”
“If you’re old enough to fight for your country, [if] you’re old enough to sign contracts, if you’re old enough to decide who the president of the United States is, we think you’re old enough to be responsible with your rights and to be able to protect yourself,” Republican Rep. Shae Sortwell of Gibson, the bill’s chief sponsor, said last week.
