"What kind of representative government do we have here?" We all know the answer: We have the kind that is totally bought and paid for. Really, we have only the illusion of a DNR. MIght as well be changed to WMC.
Our current state government has no interest in what the majority of Wisconsin citizens want. Elected and appointed officials are owned (lock, stock and barrel) by special interest groups which funnel money to them. Among these groups are gun manufacturers and dealers, hunting clubs and the NRA.
