Cognitive Dissonance Dept.: Walker, other Wisconsin Repubs think conservative gun owners will have their backs
Many progressives have spent much energy noting the enormous ambiguity in the Wisconsin Republican message on guns. That message, of course, is that it's now basically okay for citizens to carry concealed weapons into, among many other places, the State Capitol where Republican lawmakers work. Yet early in the year, Gov. Scott Walker and the GOP legislative leadership temporarily had metal detectors installed at Capitol entrances when protesters arrived to complain about the GOP union-busting bill and other goofball legislation. Keeping the metal detectors in place would kind of kill the concept of concealed carry, wouldn't it?
But from the knuckle-dragging region of the Republican mind, there's no inconsistency at all.
