As most of are aware we have the votes in the assembly and state senate to get a CCW bill passed. Doyle has vetoed the bills. If we want CCW we are going to have to work hard to get a pro-gun candidate in that office.
Regardless of all the back and forth on this site about which would be the best candidate, I realistically believe Neumann, Walker, and Todd will all sign such a bill if they are elected. I know there are some people here that have extremely strong feelings for one candidate or the other, and thats good, but when the primary is over and the candidate selected I think we should all stand united behind him/her, regardless of who it is, as long as their 2a beliefs align with our own.
As for the anti-gun side I think if Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett runs he is going to be the democratic candidate, and we all know his positions gun rights. But whoever ends up winning the democratic primary, I think its safe to say they will probably be anti-gun.
So what do we do about it? I know a good number of us are members of the NRA, WGO, etc. and they all do damn good work. But what do you guys think of a true grass-roots effort, by us, the members of this forum, to organize and fight for our candidate, and against the anti-gunners? We are in a very ideal situation, we are all pro 2a, well informed, and spread throughout the 4 corners of the state. I really think that with a concerted effort we could really make a difference.
If we are going to do this, I think we need to get started now, get things figured out, get organized , and be ready when that candidate is selected so we can hit the ground running.
Thoughts? Ideas? Am I crazy?
Oh and by the way, I want to nominate Doug to run things!
