Francesca Hong on Gun Control

 

 


Responsible gun ownership requires responsible gun markets

Wisconsin is a hunting state, but too many families are terrified of gun violence at school. Fran believes in responsible gun ownership, not military weaponry like assault rifles or bump stocks. Responsible gun ownership requires responsible gun markets, with licensed dealers, background checks, red flag laws, safe storage requirements, reasonable waiting periods, and a ban on sales to domestic abusers.

Allow enforcement of federal gun laws in the state

Legislative Summary:AB293: Relating to: restrictions on enforcing federal laws regulating firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition, the use of public resources to confiscate firearms, and providing a penalty.

Summary by Associated Press on WBAY, Jun. 23, 2021The state Senate has passed a bill that would prohibit police in Wisconsin from enforcing any future federal laws banning or restricting the use of guns. The proposal is part of a national wave of similar Republican-backed legislation intended to resist new gun control measures.

Veto Message:"This bill is not permitted by the United States Constitution. Under Article VI, the US Constitution and the laws made pursuant to it are the supreme law of the land, and this bill purports to nullify the enforcement of federal law."

Legislative Outcome:Passed Assembly 61-36-1 on 6/9; Francesca Hong voted NO; Senate concurred on a voice vote on 6/23; vetoed by Gov. Evers on 7/9/21.
