It is true what they say: Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. It is also true that people kill people with guns, and it is also true that those people who choose to kill children seem often to favor variations of the AR-15 assault rifle.
Politicians’ role in gun control debate.
Assembly Speaker’s Republican primary challenger called Vos a ‘treasonous traitor.’
Instead of bickering over who is the outsider, or the real outsider, or the super outsider, or the out-there outsider, we should cast our vote for the person who most shares our values and who is most likely to be effective in governing by those values.
The “Not-Kleefisch” movement in the Republican Party seems to have finally found its candidate in Tim Michels.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider why delegates at the Wisconsin state GOP convention did not endorse a candidate in the Republican primary for governor. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
The Madison civil rights leader says white people should ask how young white men become radicalized rather than how Black people feel about the shooting.
School is supposed to be a safe place for our children to learn and grow. Instead, we fight about critical race theory, books people don’t want our children to read, and many other topics EXCEPT safety in our schools. God forbid we address that.
With America’s 120.5 to 100 gun-to-resident ratio, with guns now the leading killer of our children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with state legislators more focused on bathroom bills, abortion and (nonexistent) voter fraud than on gun safety, maybe sheer dumb luck is the only thing standing between any one of us and gun violence.
Nearly 27,000 Wisconsinites have given their lives on battlefields around the world, and we honor them with our thoughts, prayers, and tributes. This Memorial Day, however, I would like to also draw attention to the casualties that occur off the battlefield – the veterans who fall to suicide.
We must never forget those who died so that we never make that mistake again.
This Memorial Day, remember those who gave all, by seeking the unity required to leave a strong and free nation for our children and grandchildren.
Wisconsin lawmakers are expressing frustration and condemnation of the Evers administration following a report showing the state Veterans Home at Union Grove is one of the most troubled veterans nursing facilities in the nation.

Dean Knudson deserves praise for telling the truth about the November 2020 elections.
Now is the time to speak up for Wisconsin seniors so the health care coverage they need under Medicare Part D is fully covered in the future through the Protecting Seniors Through Immunization Act.
Seniors in Wisconsin and nation can’t afford it. US Senate must act to rein in prices.
Trust me, there will be plenty of time for political posturing, for using the deaths of 19 children however we can in an important election year. For now, can we just grieve? Can we cry? Can we, dare I say it, offer our prayers?
As long as guns remain a senseless symbol of freedom to millions of rabid gun owners, nothing will change. This will happen again.
A cliché more worthless than ‘thoughts and prayers’
