Nws yooj yim dhau Ob lub tsev ntawm Legislature nrog kev txhawb nqa bipartisan thiab tau kos npe rau hauv txoj cai lij choj los ntawm Walker. Hauv Senate, kev pov npav yog 25 rau 8, nrog rau tag nrho 19 Republicans thiab rau Democrats pom zoo.
Ntawm lawv yog Bob Jauch.
Jauch tau koom tes nrog kev hloov kho ntxiv rau lub xeev Capitol, cov tsev nyob hauv tsev ua phem, cov chaw zov me nyuam, chaw pov npav, pawg ntseeg thiab tuav rau cov npe ntawm cov chaw uas zais riam phom yuav raug txwv tsis pub siv. Txhua tus tau swb lawm, txhais tau tias cov chaw no yuav tsum tau tshaj tawm cov cim kom tsis txhob muaj riam phom. Tab sis nws tau pov npav rau daim nqi kawg nkaus lawm.
"Kuv xav tias qhov kev xav ntawm pej xeem tau hloov pauv," Jauch piav qhia hauv tsab ntawv rau cov neeg pov npav. Thiab thaum nws tsis cia siab tias yuav pom qhov txo qis hauv kev ua txhaum cai, uas twb tau qis dua hauv Wisconsin ntau dua li qhov nruab nrab hauv lub tebchaws, Jauch tau sau tias "tsis muaj pov thawj tias kev zais cia hauv lwm lub xeev tau ua rau muaj kev phom sij rau pej xeem lossis ua rau muaj kev siv tsis raug ntau. phom."
Wisconsin tus tshiab kev cai lij choj, uas yuav siv rau hnub Tuesday, tawm hauv Illinois raws li lub xeev ib leeg nrog daim pam txwv tsis pub nqa riam phom zais.

Auric Gold, tus tuav ntaub ntawv ntawm pawg pro- phom-txoj cai Wisconsin Carry Inc., pom zoo tias daim nqi no muaj ntau txoj cai nthuav dav dua li cov qauv ua ntej: "Kuv yuav hais tias nws tsim nyog tos, vim tias peb tau txais txoj cai zoo dua li qhov uas tau vetoed los ntawm Governor Doyle."
"Nws yog txoj cai zoo," Rachel Parsons, tus kws tshaj lij nrog NRA lub chaw haujlwm hauv Fairfax, Va. "Peb zoo siab heev."
Tsis yog rau squeamish
Xeev Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend, tus kws tshaj lij ntawm Wisconsin daim nqi nqa khoom zais, muab cov lus piav qhia yooj yim vim li cas daim nqi no muaj zog dua. Nws hais tias yav dhau los, thaum nqe lus hinged ntawm swinging ib tug pov npav los yog ob mus rau override ib tug gubernatorial veto, daim ntawv sau nqi yuav tsum tau daws nrog rau cov kev txhawj xeeb ntawm "tus squeamish tshaj" muaj peev xwm txhawb nqa.
"Tab sis ntawm no, yog tias tus neeg squeamish tshaj plaws hais tias, 'Kuv yuav tsis mus pov npav tshwj tsis yog tias muaj qhov no thiab qhov no," ces koj tuaj yeem hais tias, 'Tsis txhob pov npav rau nws, peb muaj cov pov npav lawm.' ”
Wisconsin txoj cai tuav pov hwm tso cai leej twg 21 xyoos lossis laus dua los thov daim ntawv tso cai, uas raug nqi $ 50 thiab zoo rau tsib xyoos. Tsuas yog ib pawg me me ntawm cov tib neeg - suav nrog cov neeg raug txim txhaum cai thiab cov neeg raug tsim txom hauv tsev txwv tsis pub tawm tsam lawv - tej zaum yuav raug tsis lees paub daim ntawv tso cai. Cov riam phom uas tso cai muaj xws li phom, riam, pob zeb qws thiab rab phom stun.
Txoj kev ywj pheej los zais nqa yog cia li tshem tawm hauv ib qho xwb ob peb qhov chaw, xws li tub ceev xwm chaw ua haujlwm, tsev hais plaub thiab tsev kawm ntawv. Cov tuam txhab lag luam thiab tsoomfwv cov tuam tsev tuaj yeem xaiv txwv tsis pub muaj riam phom los ntawm kev tshaj tawm cov paib ntawm txhua qhov nkag, tab sis tsis muaj kev txwv tsis pub siv rau hauv lub xeev Capitol thaj chaw lossis thaj chaw qhib hauv nroog thiab xeev cov chaw ua si, tsev kawm qib siab, thiab pej xeem zoos.
Gov. Walker Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Tswj Xyuas tau xaiv tso cai zais riam phom hauv feem ntau ntawm lub xeev Capitol thiab lwm lub xeev tsoomfwv cov tsev. Cov neeg tsim cai lij choj yuav teeb tsa lawv tus kheej txoj cai raws li qhov twg riam phom yuav raug tso cai.
Cov neeg tuav daim ntawv tso cai tuaj yeem nqa phom zais rau hauv taverns, tsuav yog lawv tsis haus thaum nyob ntawd. Cov riam phom tsis tuaj yeem raug txwv hauv tshav dav hlau, tsuas yog cov chaw kuaj xyuas kev nyab xeeb yav dhau los.
Hawk Sullivan, tus tswv ntawm peb qhov chaw nrov Madison-cheeb tsam, hais tias nws tab tom tshaj tawm cov cim txwv tsis pub muaj riam phom ntawm lawv: "Yog tias kuv pom ib tus neeg muaj phom, kuv yuav hu rau tub ceev xwm."
Txog hnub Tuesday, txhua tus neeg nyob hauv Wisconsin tuaj yeem thauj khoom thiab tsis muaj phom phom hauv lawv lub tsheb. Thiab cov tswv ntiav haujlwm yuav tsis tiv thaiv lawv cov neeg ua haujlwm tuav daim ntawv tso cai los ntawm kev khaws riam phom zais hauv lawv lub tsheb, txawm tias nres ntawm tuam txhab cov cuab yeej lossis siv txuas nrog lawv txoj haujlwm.
Cov ntaub ntawv pov thawj ntawm cov neeg tuav daim ntawv tso cai tuav pov hwm yuav muab zais cia. Cov tub ceev xwm tuaj yeem nkag mus rau nws kom paub meej tias tus neeg ua tsis tau daim ntawv tso cai raws li kev thov ($ 25 nplua, rov qab tau yog tias tsim tawm hauv 48 teev) muaj ntawv tso cai tiag tiag, tab sis tsis tuaj yeem tshawb xyuas cov ntaub ntawv niaj hnub thaum lawv nres tsheb.
Qhov no cuam tshuam Doug Pettit, tus thawj coj tub ceev xwm hauv lub zos Oregon thiab tus thawj coj ntawm pawg neeg tsim cai lij choj rau Wisconsin Cov Thawj Coj Tub Ceev Xwm, leej twg hais tias tub ceev xwm ntseeg tias "ntau cov ntaub ntawv zoo dua li qhov tsis muaj ntaub ntawv."
Pettit kuj xav tias txoj cai lij choj dhau los ntawm cov neeg uas tuaj yeem tau txais daim ntawv tso cai nqa tsis pub dhau, hais tias cov npe nqaim ntawm kev zam yuav tsis suav nrog, piv txwv li, ib tug neeg loj leeb hauv Milwaukee nrog ntau lub txim txhaum cai uas txhua tus tau thov rau kev ua txhaum cai.
Kev txhawj xeeb kuj tau raug tsa - ntawm ob sab - txog qib kev cob qhia xav tau kom tau txais daim ntawv tso cai. Ib daim nqi pib suav nrog tsis muaj kev cai rau kev tso cai thiab kev cob qhia. Cov no tau ntxiv tom qab, tom qab kev tawm tsam raug tsa.
Txoj cai lij choj raws li tau hais tias yuav tsum muaj kev cob qhia tuaj yeem ua tiav los ntawm kev kawm cov kev kawm paub yos hav zoov, zoo li cov uas muaj los ntawm Lub Xeev Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Ua Haujlwm. Cov neeg thuam tau sau tseg tias cov kev kawm no tsom mus rau phom thiab phom phom, tsis yog phom phom, thiab tsis qhia txog kev siv riam phom thaum muaj xwm txheej kub ntxhov.
Pettit hais tias, "Nws tsuas yog txhawj xeeb rau kuv tias qee tus neeg yuav txiav txim siab kom tau daim ntawv tso cai coj mus zais txawm tias lawv tsis paub txog riam phom thiab tsis raug cob qhia kom raug." Tub ceev xwm, nws sau tseg, tau txais kev qhia dav dav txog kev siv phom nyob rau hauv kev ntxhov siab - kev kawm, piv txwv li, ib txwm saib dhau lawv lub hom phiaj kom pom tias lwm tus nyob hauv kab hluav taws.
Hauv kev teb rau cov kev txhawj xeeb no, Tus Kws Lij Choj General JB Van Hollen tau sau tseg, thiab Walker tsis txaus siab pom zoo, txoj cai tswj hwm yuav tsum muaj tsawg kawg yog plaub teev ntawm kev cob qhia, suav nrog qee qhov kev sib koom tes. Txoj cai tau kos qws ntawm kev tawm tsam los ntawm NRA, uas hais tias Wisconsin txoj cai lij choj tau dhau los "nrog kev xav tias muaj kev ywj pheej, tsis yog kev cai ntau dhau."
Txawm hais tias ua ntej qhov kev cob qhia plaub-teev txoj cai no tau tawm tswv yim, NRA lobbyist Darren LaSorte yog hais tawm hais tias tshem tawm Wisconsin daim ntawv tso cai thiab kev cob qhia yuav tsum "yuav yog qhov kev cia siab ntawm peb txoj hauv kev."
Ntxiv rau NRA tus kws tshaj lij Parsons, "Peb yuav txuas ntxiv ua haujlwm nrog cov tswv cuab ntawm Pawg Neeg Saib Xyuas Kev Cai Lij Choj kom ntxiv dag zog rau cov lus," yog li ntau tus neeg tuaj yeem nqa tau.
'NRA power myth'
Bonavia tau hais tias cov pej xeem Wisconsin yeej tsis tau mob siab rau kev zais zais raws li muaj cov tswv cuab ntawm Pawg Neeg Saib Xyuas Kev Cai lij choj. Thiab txawm tias ntawm cov neeg tsim cai lij choj, Bonavia tsis paub "yog tias lawv tau yaum kom xav tau kev tuav pov hwm raws li lawv xav tau los pov npav rau nws."
Ntau tus kws tshaj lij, nws hais tias, ntseeg tias "nws yog nom tswv tua tus kheej los pov npav tawm tsam NRA." Lawv tau "yuav rau hauv NRA lub hwj chim dab neeg."
Qhov tseeb, NRA yeej tsis tau txais nws txoj kev.
Txawm hais tias muaj kev txhawb nqa NRA ntau, ib tus ntawm Wisconsin tus thawj coj ntawm cov neeg tawm tsam phom, xeev Sen. David Zien, R-Eau Claire, tau swb rau nws qhov kev sib tw rau kev xaiv tsa xyoo 2006. Thiab xeev Rep. Gary Sherman, D-Port Wing, tus tswv cuab NRA. leej twg tau hloov txoj haujlwm los pov npav txiav txim siab tawm tsam dhau Doyle's veto ntawm kev zais cia hauv 2004, yeej rov xaiv tsa xyoo ntawd thiab ob lub sijhawm tom ntej.
Tom qab 2004 pov npav, NRA lobbyist LaSorte yog hais tawm Raws li hais tias "qee lub rooj zaum yuav tsum tau hloov," ntxiv tias Sherman yog "yeej yuav nyob hauv qhov pom ntawm nws cov neeg pov npav."
Sherman, tam sim no tus kws txiav txim plaub ntug txiav txim plaub ntug hauv xeev, rov qab hais tias NRA tau tsom nws, ua haujlwm puv nplooj ntawv hauv Ashland Daily Press thiab txhawb nqa nws tus nrog sib tw. Tab sis cov lus tawm tswv yim nws tau txais los ntawm cov neeg pov npav yog "dhau los ntawm kev pom zoo ntawm tus tswv xeev txoj cai veto." Raws li NRA qhov kev xav, Sherman hais tias, "Kuv yeej tsis tau muaj kev xav tias ib lub koom haum twg tuaj yeem siv tau ntau lub zog nrog cov neeg xaiv tsa raws li NRA thov."
Kev koom tes ncaj qha rau cov neeg sib tw hauv xeev los ntawm NRA Txoj Cai Lij Choj Nyiaj Txiag tau raug xaiv tsa, tag nrho tsuas yog $ 15,000 txij li nruab nrab xyoo 2008, cov ntaub ntawv hauv xeev qhia. Tab sis Parsons hais tias pab pawg neeg muaj peev xwm los ntawm lwm qhov chaw: "Qhov laj thawj peb muaj zog heev yog tias peb cov tswv cuab pov npav thiab lawv hu rau lawv cov neeg tsim cai lij choj."
NRA tseem tuav lub chaw tos txais zoo heev. Hauv thawj rau lub hlis xyoo 2011, pab pawg qhia siv $66,658 rau 415 teev ntawm kev tos txais hauv Wisconsin, 76 feem pua ntawm cov uas tau mob siab rau rau daim nqi nqa khoom, lub xeev cov ntaub ntawv qhia. Nws tau sau npe plaub tus neeg tos txais qhua, tag nrho los ntawm pab pawg lub hauv paus hauv tebchaws hauv Fairfax, Va.
Lwm pab pawg, Wisconsin Gun Owners Inc., qhia siv $ 78,516 ntawm 364 teev ntawm kev tos txais thaum lub sijhawm no, ib nrab ntawm kev ua tiav daim nqi nqa khoom. Nyob rau hauv tag nrho, cov neeg txhawb nqa ntawm kev zais nqa tau tshaj tawm siv tag nrho ntawm 541 teev ntawm kev tos txais daim nqi, piv rau 205 teev qhia los ntawm pawg tawm tsam nws. Cov pab pawg uas tau teev teev ntau tshaj tawm tsam nws, 66, yog Lub Nroog Milwaukee.
Lub chaw ua haujlwm ntawm xeev Sen. Pam Galloway, R-Wausau, tus thawj coj ntawm daim nqi txhawb nqa, lees paub tias NRA yog nyob rau ntawm "ntau pab pawg uas tau ncav cuag los muab tswv yim" thaum lub sijhawm tsim daim nqi.
Tsis muaj teeb meem hauv kev tsim?
Ob peb lub zej zog Wisconsin, suav nrog Germantown hauv Washington County thiab Sturtevant hauv Racine County, tau pov npav tso cai zais riam phom hauv ntau lub tsev hauv nroog. Tab sis muaj ntau yam ntxiv ua cov kauj ruam txwv tsis pub cov no, raws li txoj cai tso cai.
Tus Neeg Sawv Cev Hauv Xeev Donna Seidel, D-Wausau, uas yog tus thawj coj ntawm kev txwv tsis pub nqa hauv Wisconsin, pom qhov no yog qhov tseem ceeb: "Yog tias muaj kev xav zoo rau txoj cai no hauv Wisconsin, vim li cas cov neeg tuaj yeem txwv tsis pub nws ua li ntawd?"
Thiab cov tub ceev xwm tab tom chafing ntawm lawv tsis muaj peev xwm khaws riam phom tawm ntawm qee thaj chaw, xws li cov chaw qhib ntawm cov chaw ua si thiab cov tsev kawm ntawv qib siab.
David Giroux, tus kws tshaj lij ntawm 26-tsev kawm ntawv University of Wisconsin System hais tias "Qhov tseeb tiag, nws ua rau peb lub peev xwm txo tau cov riam phom tawm hauv tsev kawm ntawv," hais tias David Giroux, tus cev lus rau 12,000-campus University of Wisconsin System, uas tawm tsam qhov kev hloov pauv. "Txoj cai tshiab tsim ib puag ncig nyuaj rau peb." Giroux hais tias txhua lub tsev kawm ntawv hauv lub kaw lus yuav tshaj tawm cov paib tiv thaiv riam phom hauv cov tsev, ntawm tag nrho tsawg kawg yog XNUMX lub qhov rooj.
Wisconsin Parks & Recreation Association, sawv cev rau cov thawj coj hauv zos, kuj tawm tsam qhov kev hloov no. Tus thawj coj Steve Thompson hais txog kev txhawj xeeb tshwj xeeb txog kev tso riam phom hauv thaj chaw siv rau kev hais kwv txhiaj, cov kev pab cuam rau cov tub ntxhais hluas thiab cov kis las: "Lub peev xwm muaj rau qee yam ua tsis txaus ntseeg."
Qee lub lag luam kuj ua rau tsis xis nyob rau qhov kev hloov pauv. Keith Kopplin, kws lij choj nrog Milwaukee txoj cai lij choj ntawm Krukowski & Costello hais tias "Lawv xav kom tsis muaj kev zam txim - tsis muaj riam phom hauv thaj chaw, sijhawm," Txawm li cas los xij, tam sim no ib qho kev txwv riam phom feem ntau yuav tsum tsis suav nrog cov tsheb ntawm tus kheej ntawm cov neeg ua haujlwm nrog cov ntawv tso cai zais cia.
Phom txoj cai tus kws lij choj kub, tus kws qhia txog riam phom uas tau lees paub los ntawm NRA (txawm tias tsis yog ib tus tswv cuab NRA tam sim no), tau dhau ob peb xyoos dhau los tsis tu ncua nqa riam phom qhib rau hauv thiab ib puag ncig nws lub tsev hauv Madison, zoo li thaum nws taug kev hauv nws cov zej zog lossis mus rau khoom noj khw. Nws hais tias txoj cai tshiab yuav muab lwm txoj hauv kev rau nws, thaum qhov xwm txheej tau lees paub.
Nws hais tias "Kev qhib nqa tsis yog qhov ua tau zoo thaum lub caij ntuj no thiab cov khoom zais zais tsis zoo li lub caij ntuj sov," nws hais. Thiab nws yuav tsis muaj txiaj ntsig kom nqa tau qhib rau hauv "cov neeg coob coob."
Kub xav tias Wisconsin qhov kev paub dhau los yuav zoo ib yam li lwm lub xeev, qhov chaw zais cia maj mam dhau los ua "tsis muaj teeb meem rau tib neeg feem coob." Lawv hnov cov lus ceeb toom txog "cov ntshav khiav hauv txoj kev," tab sis tsis muaj dab tsi tshwm sim.
Sen. Grothman pom zoo. "Koj saib TV ntau dhau yog tias koj xav tias cov pej xeem nruab nrab tsuas yog npaj tawm ntawm lub kaus mom poob," nws hais ntxiv tias nws ntseeg tias cov neeg tuav daim ntawv tso cai zais zais "muaj lub luag haujlwm ntau dua li cov pej xeem tag nrho."
Grothman tau hais tawm qhov kev txhawj xeeb los ntawm Thawj Tswj Hwm Pettit: "Yog tias kuv yog tub ceev xwm, tus txiv neej uas kuv yuav txhawj xeeb yog tus txiv neej uas tsis muaj daim ntawv tso cai coj mus zais."
Tseeb tiag, Grothman xav tias nws yog "tsis txaus ntseeg" uas tau hais txog kev xaiv lub xeev Capitol ua qhov chaw uas tsis pub riam phom, uas cov thawj coj Walker tsis kam ua. Nws hais tias "Nws yog qhov ua siab phem me me yog tias cov neeg tsim cai lij choj hais tias peb tsis xav kom zais qhov chaw uas peb ua haujlwm," nws hais. "Peb tab tom hais rau txhua tus neeg nyob ntawd, 'Tsis txhob txhawj.' ”
