Teenage girls must scare the heck out of him. When's he up for re-election? Who is running against him? Time for him to go!

Does the badge say NOT A COP ANYMORE in huge red letters? Can aspiring LEO wear them now too?

A pic of an insecure, petty man who uses a gun to compensate for his short comings, with a strong, smart and bold girl.

Senator Van Wanggaard, a supporter of guns in schools, greeted a young citizen concerned about gun violence in this manner today.
Our future is bright in the hands of these smart, passionate, dedicated, and courageous students. Let them know you're behind them all the way!

Today's #NeverAgain Drop-Ins for Gun Reform was a success.
Thank you to Grace Wagner, Heather Swanson, and those of you whose names I'd love to add here if you would tag yourself or comment below. Aside from a snafu for meeting this morning (and thank you for your patience as we learn how to pull off a lobby day....we appreciate that), we made an impact by showing up to meet with the people who've been elected to represent ALL of us. We plan to do this again. And again. And as many times as necessary to achieve the changes necessary for safer schools and more responsible gun laws. Below is Delaney, a high school student and charter member of Left of the I, speaking with Senator Van Wanggaard about the need for gun reform to keep herself and all our children safer in school. #warriorintraining

Building Firearms and Weapon Policy
Open carry is not allowed inside of the Wisconsin State Capitol.
Concealed Carry
The Wisconsin State Capitol houses all three branches of state government and each has its own policy on firearms. Firearms are not allowed in the offices of the Wisconsin State Capitol Police or in the Supreme Court. Legislative offices throughout the Capitol can choose whether to post a sign on their door to signify that firearms are not allowed in their offices.
Assembly Policy
Except as provided below, an individual may carry a concealed weapon in any space within the State Capitol that is assigned to the State Assembly or the State Assemblys members or officers, unless the individual is prohibited by law or Assembly policy from carrying the concealed weapon.
Assembly Representative Offices:
An Assembly representative may post a sign in a prominent place near the public entrance to the office, stating a weapon restriction for that office. The Assemly shall provide uniform signage for use by Assembly Representatives under this policy.
Representatives interested in posting a sign can contact the Sergeants office to have a sign placed (on the lower left hand corner of the glass of the entry door). The same signs are used throughout the building, they look like this:..............

There must be an ammosexual thrill associated with wielding that kind of asymmetric power.
It is sad to see small men incapable of outgrowing their eight year old brains trying to maintain psychological advantage in any relationship. The weapon compensates for inadequacy.
