Brookfield, WI

From apnews.myway.com:

BROOKFIELD, Wis. (AP) - The man who fatally shot seven people during a quiet church service before turning the gun on himself was on the verge of losing his job and upset over a sermon he heard two weeks ago, investigators said Sunday.


Seven people dead. Four more injured. Countless other lives changed forever.

This is the price of gun control.


Our governor vetoed legislation that would've allowed law abiding WI residents to obtain concealed carry permits. The state legislature missed an override by ONE VOTE. Governor Doyle ignored the will of the people who elected him to office, and he should be made to regret it come next election.

Needless to say, Governor Doyle will NOT be getting my vote when he runs for reelection. And I WILL vote against him.

Bottom line: By toeing the antigun line, and ignoring the fact that a large percentage of antigun propaganda can be proved false quite easily, the governor has made it a lot easier for this type of thing to happen in the future.

As we all too well know by now, the bad guys operate under a different set of rules. Antigun legislation only makes those of us who obey the law more vulnerable.


I hope you're pleased with yourself, Governor. I wonder how you can sleep at night. Oh, wait, I know how. YOU have an armed 24/7 security detail.


Too bad the rest of us don't have that option.
