Libertarian Party of Wisconsin Denounces New Gun Regulation Proposals
The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI), in the strongest terms, rejects the proposals from Governor Evers in his State of the State address for expanded gun laws. The “gun show loophole” that the governor alluded to in his address is false and has been proven as much multiple times via hidden camera investigations. The red flag laws that are so often proposed, and sometimes passed, by liberal politicians criminalize a citizen even when they have committed no crime and illegally confiscates their property. Even if it didn’t go against several provisions of the Constitution of both the United States and the state of Wisconsin, it violates the basic foundations of civilized society.
Additionally, criminals do not care about laws. We only need to look at Wisconsin’s intoxicated driving laws. On a regular basis, we see reports of someone who has been arrested on their fourth, fifth, sixth, or more DUI charge. The inner cities are plagued by career criminals who have been convicted of felonies and have had their rights to own firearms restricted and are frequently re-arrested in possession of weapons. New layers of laws will not prevent that. All they do is place unconstitutional barriers in the way of law abiding citizens from exercising their rights.
