On Tuesday, November 3, the Wisconsin State House unanimously passed Assembly Resolution 15. This resolution requests the participation of the Attorney General in the “friend of the court” brief in the U.S. Supreme Court case, McDonald v. Chicago.
The case will address the application of the Second Amendment to the states through either the Due Process clause or the Privileges or Immunities clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The case has major implications for the legality of restrictive gun laws not only in Chicago, but also in other cities across the United States.
Full support by the Wisconsin Assembly and other states will only strengthen the stance of the Second Amendment’s true meaning in the eyes of the court.
THREAD BUMP.
I moved out of Wisconsin in 1998 as I could not afford the tax climate there. On the gun issues the people have always been supportive of the second amendment. The mayors of Milwaukee and Madison have been anti-gun without exception.
Jackass Jim Doyle has been rabidly anti-gun starting as Attorney General and as Governor. Twice he has vetoed concealed carry laws and arm twisted the spineless wimps in the congress to not over ride him. While there I called him dumb as a post at a party he muscled his way into and found I had to apologize to all the posts. He has finally pushed the voters too far and is not seeking re-election. Now the people can get concealed carry. Good riddance Jim don’t let the door hit you in your brains on the way out.
Great news.
