WI Semi-Auto Ban Introduced

It's official: Democratic platform includes renewed push for assault weapons ban.

Democrats Launch State-Level Semi-Auto Ban … Action Needed

While everyone was distracted with the national circus known as the republican debates, Wisconsin democrats launched a nightmare ban on semi-automatic firearms.

LRB 3635, the brainchild of Rep. Lisa Subeck (D-Madison), is one of the most far-reaching bans on semiautomatic weapons ever introduced in Wisconsin.

It will turn tens of thousands of Badger State gun owners into criminals overnight.

“That will never make it out of committee, and if it does Walker won’t sign it,” you say?

Don’t count on it: The real danger isn’t Subeck’s original bill, but the watered-down version that is being rewritten right now.

You see, there was such backlash to her initial scheme earlier this week that Subeck sent it back to the Legislative Reference Bureau to tone it down.

And that’s the danger. Republicans have a long history of compromising on bills like this to make themselves appear more “reasonable.”

“Due to the vagueness in its definition, this bill could potentially outlaw all modern semi-automatic handguns, shotguns and pistols in Wisconsin,” reports bearingarms.com(Wisconsin Democrats Call For Ban Of Most Semi-Automatic Firearms, November 9, 2015).

If passed, you could be imprisoned for up to six years and fined $10,000 for merely owning an AR-15 or any number of other so-called “assault weapons.

Rep. Subeck is living in a fantasy world. She seems to think criminals buy their guns through gun dealers and are stopped by the background check system. It doesn’t happen.

But what WILL happen is that some sort of backroom deal will soon be hatched between state democrats and republicans to “work together.”

In fact, we’re so sure this will happen, that we’re launching our all-out petition drive to cut them off RIGHT NOW before this gun ban bill from hell goes any further.

That’s why WGO urges you to take a minute and sign the online petition against the Wisconsin semi-auto ban.

And to PLEASE consider contributing something to this fight—$10, $25, $50 or more—so we have the resources to battle this dangerous legislation.

You might be thinking: Why haven’t I heard from any other organizations about this threat?

The reasons range from apathy to hubris—many think the bill won’t see the light of day. That’s a naïve assumption at best.

Some think the semi-auto ban is so all-encompassing that there’s no way any republicans will allow it to advance. Wrong again.

Yet others simply aren’t paying any attention and are, like deer in the headlights, dazzled by the national spectacle of the republican debates—they aren’t even watching what’s happening here in Wisconsin.

The most dangerous time is when Rep. Subeck rolls out the revised version soon: That’s when state republicans will be pressured to “work together” on a compromise.

WGO is monitoring this situation closely. In the meantime, please sign the online petition against the semi-auto ban.

And equally important, please give something to this effort. We rely on generous gifts from people like you. We refuse to sell-out to the establishment fat cats.

The Wisconsin semi-auto ban is real. It’s here.

It’s advancing right now. Repackaged so it can be resold.

There is imminent danger of a sell-out.

Please act now.

    I’d be more interested in signing a recall for representative subeck . That is the proper way to send a message to these politicians that we are not going to accept their infringement on our rights.

  2. Cory Stewart says:

    Lutraged at the notion of yet another action against law abiding citizens. Taking guns isn’t the answer, ask the french….. I say no to your Proposal

  3. tim cullen says:

    I am outraged by the ignorance of our politicians and their actions or should I say their attack on our Constitution; the very one they swore to protect and uphold! Being a member of W.G.O my question is this why haven’t we organized a public protest about these politicians on the capitol steps?
    True I think the media will either ignore or slam it, but at least the cat will be out of the bag and in front of the unknowing public, that either is unaware or thinks everything is ok in Wisconsin.

  4. These aren’t even laws. Its phony. You can’t pass a law that infringes on fundamental freedoms. You literally can win in court every time if you know the real law of the land. Stop being pussies Americans. These regulations are literally meaningless. They have no real authority. LEGALLY. BY LAW. You can win in court EVERY time. This is a provable FACT. Stop letting this stupid propaganda get into your head. *REALITY* it DOES not matter what they sign or pass, its in total contradiction to fundamental Freedoms of self protection. End of story. Any law or regulation passed that contradicts this simple truth is NULL AND VOID. This is legal FACT.

    Whoa! Technically a “law” must conform to the US Constitution which protects our inalienable rights!
    PS: Our State Constitution is based on the Northwest Ordinance which predates the US Const.! It GUARANTEES us a ‘republic.’
    Therefore; ALL administrative seats MUST be voted on by the majority. THEREFORE ALL city managers are UNLAWFUL! One last note >> The Anti-federalists were correct: ALL central govts are to be feared and closely monitored = why? Human psychology says the main force of life is SURVIVE! Guess what? The same goes for human constructs = GOVTS first law is self protection and truth be damned. Now U know why we fight for our freedom DAILY or lose it! Govts & corporations have NO CONSCIENCE. Beware————-
