Packing Heat on Playgrounds in Wisconsin
The recent tragic school shootings, including the death of a principal in Wisconsin, have reignited the debate on gun legislation.
Wisconsin State Rep. Frank Lasee (R-Bellevue) quickly announced his plan to introduce a bill that would “allow teachers, principals, administrators, and other school personnel to carry concealed weapons.“
To many, including me, this proposal sounds ridiculous. But is it any more absurd than when State Representatives Garey Bies (R-Sister Bay), Brett Davis (R-Oregon), Steve Freese (R-Dodgeville), Judy Krawczyk (R-Green Bay), Rob Kreibich (R-Eau Claire), Gabe Loeffelholz (R-Platteville), Terry Moulton (R-Chippewa Falls), Terry Musser (R-Black River Falls), Mark Pettis (R-Hertel), Scott Suder (R-Abbotsford), Karl Van Roy (R-Green Bay), Steve Wieckert (R-Appleton), Jeff Wood (R-Chippewa Falls) and others voted for legislation allowing people to carry guns into day care centers, playgrounds, and public parks?
The version of concealed carry legislation that these State Reps decided to push clearly put the safety of Wisconsin's children and families in jeopardy. As they roll out their new plans to keep children safe, keep in mind what they've already voted for.
