Props to the Journal Sentinel for the strong headline and lede on this evening's story.
State leaders made clear hours before Molson Coors shooting there will be no new action on gun legislation
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, early Wednesday afternoon made clear that the state's gun laws would not change under a Republican-controlled Legislature despite a call for a review from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers...
His comments came just after Evers again called on lawmakers to take up legislation aimed at keeping guns away from people who are dangerous, underscoring the deep divide between Evers, Democrats and Republicans on the issue of gun restrictions.You may remember that several months ago, GOP legislative leaders shut down after about a minute and with no debate whatsoever the special session on gun safety measures proposed by Evers.
Screenshots don't do justice
to the arrogance of his outrage, but the video posted by Madison TV station NBC15 of Fitzgerald's contemptuous, cowardly adjournment in mere seconds of a special legislative session called to debate better citizen protections against gun violence will live forever as 'How a Bill Does Not Become a Law.'
