Delafield, Wis. – The Institute for Reforming Government (IRG) released another “Court Watch” primer, this time outlining how the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s ruling can impact 2nd Amendment and Sportsmen rights. The primer outlines how the Court may have the final say on the debate surrounding the right to bear arms.
WHY IT MATTERS: As some policy leaders discuss anti-gun initiatives like “universal background checks” and “red flag laws,” control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next decade could determine whether these laws are upheld or are struck as unconstitutional.
THE QUOTE:
“Conservative majorities have protected the right to bear arms while liberal majorities have chipped away at those rulings,” said Jake Curtis, General Counsel and Director of CIO of IRG. “Wisconsinites cherish our sporting heritage and the right to protect our personal safety, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court will determine the future of those rights.”
WHAT’S NEXT: State courts impact everyday Wisconsinites’ lives and IRG’s new Court Watch initiative will lead in educating on the importance of the judicial branch.
