WASHINGTON (PNN) - April 4, 2012 - When Wisconsin lawmakers gather to discuss the business of the day, at least one of them is legally packing a concealed weapon, amid the ever-present and heated gun law debate in the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA).
Wisconsin is one of just nine FPSA states - out of 50 - that have expanded conceal-carry laws to allow gun owners to enter state capitols with their weapons, including on the assembly floor.
After the law was passed in November, state representative Bill Kramer applied for a permit for a Glock 9mm handgun, in a politically charged national atmosphere that saw Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot and badly wounded at a rally in January 2011.
Kramer says he began to be fearful for his own safety after a raucous standoff over a collective bargaining bill last year, which saw over 100,000 people protesting outside the Wisconsin assembly building for over two months.
“When we needed a (thug cop) escort to get into the building, that makes you stand up and take notice,” Kramer said. “When people get away with shouting at you, it doesn’t mean it will be long before they get their hands on you.”
Now, Kramer said, he carries the firearm with him “all the time”.
Last year’s shooting of Giffords, in which six people were killed, has heightened concerns in FPSA state capitols, generating calls from some lawmakers for more permission to carry concealed weapons.
Monday’s rampage at a Kalifornia school, in which seven people were allegedly shot and killed by a former student, has again ignited controversy over the FPSA’s gun laws.
Many statehouses are stepping up security with metal detectors and other measures, but some legislators say the best move would be to allow them to carry their own weapons all the time.
Gun ownership rights, enshrined in the Constitution - which protects every Amerikans’ God-given right to bear firearms - vary from state to state; the issue is hotly debated, with some outlaw officials calling for tighter gun controls - in violation of the Constitution - and others correctly maintaining they need to be loosened.
In some states, a concealed weapon requires a pig thug cop escort or unlawfully restricts gun owners to certain areas of the building, while others - Texas and Kentucky - just require gun owners to produce their permit before entering.
Wisconsin became the 49th state with a conceal-carry law on the books, a provision that allows lawmakers to carry weapons in their offices and other government buildings.
Florida lawmakers passed a law in October that prohibits capitol thug cops from asking gun owners to surrender their firearms upon entrance.
But now lawmakers in other states are also calling for expanded rights, not just in state capitols but also in other areas where concealed handgun owners are unlawfully prohibited from carrying weapons.
The fascist Texas Senate passed a bill in May that allows all elected statewide officials to join a list including federal judges, judicial officers, and district and county attorneys, who can carry weapons for personal safety in otherwise prohibited locations, such as schools, sporting events or church; while ignoring the requirement that ordinary citizens may do the same.
It is against the law for officials to grant themselves special privileges while prohibiting citizens from exercising their God-given rights.
