Waupaca, WI -(AmmoLand.com)- State Rep. Melissa Agard-Sargent (D-Madison) wants Australian-style gun control in Wisconsin and she’s introduced a bill to make that happen.
Sargent’s hair-brained scheme is to impose a 20 percent tax on gun sales in our state, with the money going back to gun control groups to operate Gun Buyback checkpoints throughout Wisconsin.
Is Rep. Sargent thinking clearly when she expects us to believe that a criminal is going to waltz into a law enforcement checkpoint and hand in guns they’re not supposed to possess … for a few dollars cash?
Get real.
The legislation, AB960, would create a system where guns are turned in and “required to be destroyed” … just like they do in totalitarian third world countries.
“The political will exhibited in Australia led to a palpable shift in public opinion,” writes Rep. Sargent proudly. “The people accepted the fact that safety had to take precedent over the ability to own an assault rifle.”
Wow, it’s amazing what these people will admit in writing. The scary thing about AB960 is how it will impose more taxes on gun dealers and gun owners.
The power to tax is the power to destroy.
Pouring salt in the wound, they want to tax gun owners and send the money directly back to “gun control organs” (themselves) to implement their anti-gun programs.

Liberal Democrats with hyphenated last names are a sign of the times! LOL
This is Wisconsin business, but if I lived there I would be shouting to others and the sponsor of this bill.

When the liberals,it is not just Democrats, have their way with guns It will be that much easier to make us West China. It makes me madder when I hear someone say “I am a life long NRA member but I don’t believe anyone should have an assault weapon. Didn’t I hear Obama say , Look at China Europe and Australia, they get along fine without guns. China got my attention. They think it would be great if we minded like good little boys and girls and heaven forbid be able to defend our selves from the government.
WIS is a democratic state, most will think this bill is okay. If you’re a firearms owner there and vote democratic your getting just what you deserve.

As long as good slaves are willing to pay taxes our rights will be threatened. Once you figure out that we have to abolish taxation to be free we’ll have our liberties. Until then keep paying & hoping that they don’t take your guns, slave.
