Walker is a complete phony and fraud. He cares more about getting re-elected than the lives of children. We are the only country with this rate of gun violence by a long shot. Everyone knows what the problem is. The coward Walker would rather take NRA money and not risk being on the wrong side of the NRA than doing what needs to be done in Wisconsin. Not sure how the phony sleeps at night.
Hey tom, you dumbass. Turns out common shotguns and handguns kill people too, not just AR-15’s. Or do you want to ban those too, now? Ban everything?
Way to use tragedy to try and score points against Governor Walker. You people sicken me.
Very intelligent response Lena. How about we start with the following:
1. Background checks for all gun sales
2. Ban assault weapons
3. Ban bump stocks
4. Allow and fund gun research
Prior to Santa Fe the 20 last mass shootings involved AR-15’s. I’d respect the life of children more than I respect your right to carry an AR-15. The Supreme Court agrees there are limits to second amendment. Good luck dealing with your intelligence deficit.
….lower the flag but then Crooked Scott Walker takes another 3 million dollars from the NRA. Crooked Career Politician Walker is just another Big Government mooching Washington DC Special Interest sell-out!
Dump Walker 2018
Lowers flag with his left hand while collecting NRA money with the right. *Thoughts and Prayers*
It seems as if both the US and Wisconsin flags are always flying at half-staff for something or other. Now, they fly for some school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas (Texas? Surprise! Surprise!). What an empty, meaningless show of concern. As for me, I am driving with my headlights on in daylight hours.
This half-staff foolishness is so common that I am ordering flagpoles that are only half as tall.
Old Man and stephen: Great comments. More empty gestures and comments from grifter Walker and his spineless ilk. I’ve been a gun owner since the 1980s and quit my NRA membership 25+ years ago. The NRA is no longer just concerned with proper training and gun safety. Now they’re money grubbing nutjobs buying out politicians. Look at who they just appointed as their president. Weird how LaPierre suddenly stepped down and disappeared.
BTW, didn’t Walker get a boo boo on his thumb when he got confused about the safety during a photo op? The guy’s such a total clueless phony. The dimwit would shoot himself during a duel.
NRA= AMERICAS TERORIST ORGANIZATION
Just a hollow gesture from little scooter!!!
Where are his thoughts and prayers?
