Wisconsin Assembly rejects background check bill, offers funds for armed school guards
The state Assembly voted Tuesday on party lines to reject a proposal to require universal background checks for gun purchases in Wisconsin, opting instead to offer funds for armed guards in schools and crack down on "straw purchasing."
The measure to support armed safety guards passed 71-24, with the support of all Republicans and 11 Democrats.
Students from several Madison high schools joined Assembly Democrats in calling for stricter gun control laws on Tuesday morning, hours after the state's attorney general said he is open to allowing firearms in schools. The debate follows a shooting at a high school in Florida that left 17 dead last week.
Attorney General Brad Schimel said in an interview on WTMJ radio Tuesday morning that elected officials should have a "discussion" about allowing guns in schools.
