A month before Milwaukee erupted in flames and gunfire last weekend, the city’s chief of police, Ed Flynn, talked to The Marshall Project’s Simone Weichselbaum about Wisconsin’s permissive gun laws, which include the right to openly carry firearms. Flynn pointed out that Milwaukee police seize more guns per capita than any other major city — including Chicago, where gun violence has gotten much more attention. |

Note to Chief Flynn: The Bill of Rights doesn't exist to make your job easier, it exists to make sure you can't impose regulations that attenuate fundamental rights.
To call Wisconsin's gun laws "lunacy" is tantamount to calling the Second Amendment to the Constitution "lunacy".
It plainly prohibits you from squelching the natural right to arms; the words "shall not be infringed" are self-explanatory.
If you can't accept that, perhaps you shouldn't be in such a position of power. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
