DA’s decision fuels reevaluation of county gun ordinances. CC Skolos disagrees.

County corporation counsel Mark Skolos said he disagrees with Fox’s interpretation of the Supreme Court’s McDonald v. City of Chicago decision’s effects on other municipalities.

Now he, in conjunction with the Wisconsin Attorney General’s office, will look to evaluate the constitutionality of some of the county’s gun ordinances and bring any findings to the Jackson County Board of Supervisors for discussion.

Remember, the DA works for the AG and the State while the County Corporate Counsel does not.

wouldn't it be great if our A.G. would come right out and say just as D.A.Fox said . We will not violate art.1 sec. 25, But if you commit a crime with a firearm you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law

It will be interesting to see what position Van Hollen takes on this. Will he support the republican platform or not?

Time for the truth to be revealed either way.
