29 Felons Arrested Hunting with Guns. The More Guns, the More Felons Own Guns.


It used to be; "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have them." Oh how times have changed, for the worse.

Now we can unsafely say; "When no guns are outlawed, the more outlaws (felons) will have them." The Wisconsin State Journal:

A state report says Wisconsin wardens arrested 29 felons for possessing a firearm during the November gun deer hunt, the most in seven years.
Weak gun laws over the years have resulted in more arrests. Surprised?

Wardens arrested nine felons in 2008, 16 in 2007 and nine in 2006. They arrested three in 2005, 10 in 2004 and 14 in 2003.
And these were the ones just caught hunting. Imagine the ones living next door. In an even odder twist:

...felons can't possess firearms under state and federal law, but they can purchase hunting licenses in Wisconsin. State Rep. Jeff Smith, an Eau Claire Democrat, is working on a bill that would prohibit felons from purchasing any kind of gun hunting license.
Shame on the legislature that passed a gun hunting license law that allowed felons to buy one.
