Senator Craig Reacts to Evers’ Statement on Gun Confiscation

"This is why Wisconsinites will never trust liberals with their Second Amendment Rights."

By State Sen. David Craig - Sep 19th, 2019 12:22 pm

Madison, WI — Today, State Senator David Craig (R-Town of Vernon) released the following statement on Governor Tony Evers’ willingness to consider gun confiscation in Wisconsin:

“This is why Wisconsinites will never trust liberals with their Second Amendment Rights. Hiding behind every supposedly ‘reasonable’ gun control measure is the Democrats’ desire to confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens.

“Today’s statement by Governor Evers entertaining gun confiscation is beyond troubling and is a window into Wisconsin liberals’ intentions to trample on our state and federal Constitutional rights.”

Senator Craig represents the 28^th Senate District which includes parts of Waukesha, Milwaukee, Racine, and Walworth counties.
