Flynn Ought to Talk With Prosecutors

This is the typical Lefty/Statist path to erasing rights:  start with the "obvious cases." 

On review, you find that the cases are not quite so obvious, largely because they simply point to the earlier failures of the Lefty/Statists.

Milwaukee police are asking state legislators and gun rights activists to back three proposals police say would repair Wisconsin's concealed-carry law...

[1]: barring people with three misdemeanor convictions in five years from obtaining a concealed-carry permit...

[2]:  straw purchases - buying a firearm for someone who is prohibited from possessing a firearm - are a misdemeanor on a state level, not a felony as they are on a federal level...

[3]  the requirements for a gun permit ignore the reality of plea bargains. Many habitual criminals legally qualify for, and could obtain, a concealed-carry permit because they were never convicted of a felony for which they were charged

For numbers 2 and 3 above--these are problems with prosecutors and judges, not the laws.  Too bad that the "flying my Mercedes while drunk" folks are out there--and that prosecutors (and/or judges) don't bother with enforcement.

As to #1 above:  WHICH misdemeanors?  Any of 'em?  All of 'em?

Let's be serious here.
