WAVEand Flynn has the legislature and everyone else believing that there arehundreds of homicides involving the use of a gunin Milwaukee and Wisconsin.The facts show otherwise. :banghead:During 2008 there were approximately 46 such homicides in Milwaukee.A large percentage of these were committed by felonsor were likely gang related. The linked PDF takes a while to download.

I don't know who 'everyone' is but I know how to look up stats and labeled the story as bogus as soon as it came out. I am pretty sure the legislators drawing their per diem for being in Madison and not home taking care of business know what we know but do not care. It is in their interest to keep the big money liberal donaters happy so officially they will say whatever accomplishes their purpose. They don't get my gun and they don't get my vote but mostly they do not get my respect. Time for a clean sweep in Madison if we are going to be armed citizens again and the bad guys will have to fear us instead of laughing at us.
