Wisconsin Legislative Action Alert– December 21, 1999

Is it worth $500 dollars to give the gift of self-protection, in the
form of a handgun, to a loved one? Absolutely. Should you have to
pay $500 to the state government for the right to do so? Absolutely
not.

And you can’t even qualify for the new $500 state license unless you
are already an FFL!

This is just one of the provisions of SB 301, a shocking anti-gun
juggernaut currently in the Senate Committee on Judiciary and
Consumer Affairs.

SB 301 also requires that the person receiving the handgun have
fingerprints on file with the DOJ. Such a fingerprint database is
an obvious gun owner registration system, and a very real danger to
your right to keep and bear arms, as registration leads to
confiscation.

You would go to a “law enforcement agency” allowed by SB 301 to
charge an unspecified amount for fingerprinting you, then you must
send another $10 to the DOJ, “which keeps the fingerprints on file.”

A waiting period is also called for in SB 301– the waiting period
starts when the DOJ acknowledges it has received a background check
request. So if the DOJ doesn’t acknowledge, the waiting period
never begins.

Do Not Let Your Rights Become Privileges “Allowed” by the State–
use the contact information provided below to call the committee
members and urge them not to pass SB 301 out of committee. Tell
them you are opposed to government interference with your
constitutional rights!
