It felt like an NRA bill. It looked like NRA bill, Flynn says. But it wasnt until we tried to gin up bipartisan support for some common sense modifications that we realized it was in fact an NRA bill.
Flynns moment of truth came when he contacted the office of a state senator he wont say who and asked for changes to block habitual criminals, not just those with felony convictions, from getting permits. A key staffer gave him contact info for a national NRA lobbyist.
What the aide conveyed, Flynn says, was, This is out of our hands. If youre going to change this, we need to get permission. From the NRA.

Quoted by the La Crosse Tribune, Chief Flynn says he will ignore a finding by State Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen that peaceable open carry of firearms is legal. Flynns directive to officers in his department is if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets of Milwaukee, well put them on the ground, take the gun away and then decide whether you have a right to carry it.

Cops don't determine our rights. They are limited by them.

(731 posts)"habitual criminals" is a very broad term, if i have been arrested 2 times for marijuana would i not be able to own a gun?
you could own a firearm and open carry, but you would not qualify for a CCW license.

And now this authoritarian thug, is whining about the NRA, because he was unable to bully some local lawmakers. What a piece-o
work...

From the NRA,,,, were those the words of the unnamed aide, or were those the words of Flynn, or did the author of the article just make shit up?
rDigital
(2,239 posts)the op just spams these threads and doesn't post or have anything to add to the discussion, not even an opening comment.
This would get you banned on any other forum.
