Madison, WI - The Wisconsin gun lobby today failed to secure enough votes to override Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle’s second veto of legislation that would ludicrously weaken gun laws in Wisconsin.

Under the proposal, loaded, hidden handguns could have been legally sneaked into rock concerts, shopping malls and the Wisconsin State Fair.  

“Today, sensible state legislators stood up to the gun lobby and said this proposal was preposterous,” said Jim Brady, Chair of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.  “They’re right.  You don’t make a rock concert safer by letting everyone pack heat.”

I hate it when they gloat.

You DO know this is old news, right?

Dupe.

Yea Subnet, but they really hate it when we gloat. We've been gloating for the last 6 years... W's election and re-election, Alito, Roberts, AWB expiration, Florida No-Retreat etc...

The gun lobby has made incredible progress given the circumstances.
