people from outside of Wisconsin that are getting involved in state politics of a state that they dont even reside in is just plain stupid. why not stay in the state you reside in and not complain so much about our state.

if you feel like complaining about Wisconsin, why not complain about that idiot doyle and how he destroyed Wisconsin.

Why would anyone of moderate intelligence believe such a thing? Ah ... liberal public school, and it's shinning record of producing an uneducated public.

Actually, gun control started in 1837, when Georgia imposed a handgun ban. It was justifiably thrown out as unconstitutional. Then, after the emancipation of slaves, Blacks were banned from owing guns .... can't have the angry slaves shooting their old owners, right?

Then, under the progressive communist leadership of Roosevelt ... the automatic weapons regulation began.

There's a number of items one might criticize Reagan for ... but the father of gun control ain't one of them.

Reagan supported waiting periods on handguns, and signed off on the 1986 automatic ban. Definitely not the better-than-Jesus Republican that the right idolizes.

I guess i wrote that incorrectly. This is what i was referring too.

Don’t Blame Liberals for Gun Control

It was Governor Ronald Reagan of California who signed the Mulford Act in 1967, "prohibiting the carrying of firearms on one's person or in a vehicle, in any public place or on any public street." The law was aimed at stopping the Black Panthers, but affected all gun owners.

Twenty-four years later, Reagan was still pushing gun control. "I support the Brady Bill," he said in a March 28, 1991 speech, "and I urge the Congress to enact it without further delay.

I blame democrats and republicans for gun control acts. they are both responsible, and i hope both parties rot in hell.

So what? The statement that I was responding to was that Reagan was the first to implement gun control ... which is maniacally inaccurate.

I wasn't defending Reagan ... just correcting a rather large lie.

Consider it clarification of Reagan's role in gun-control

There is no real distinction between them anymore ... all work for the crooks who want the sheeple unarmed before enough of them wake up and realize how badly they've been looted and abused.

Of course, the left will never wake up. They are the intellectual idiots of the 20th and 21st century ... a group of congenital imbeciles who learn nothing from history.

Go check out the socialist-communists rantings and adulation of Marx and Lenin as prime evidence of felonious stupidity. Then, to recognize the shear magnitude ....

Lenin Unleashed Systematic Murder of 200,000 Clergy

And then ... just try to wrap your head around the history of communist genocide in just the 20th century:

Mao Ze Dong .... 78,000,000 people murdered

Stalin 23,000,000 people murdered

Just these two socialist-communist icons murdered more people in a short period of time than all of the wars throughout history, and make the fascist Hitler look like a humanitarian. But do you think 100 Million murdered would leave enough of an impression for people to be wary of socialism-communism?

I guess not. They subscribe to the Marxist adage "you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet" .... or 100 Million, give or take.
