The Wisconsin Legislature convenes in Madison on Thursday for a special session on gun control. But convening is about all either chamber will do, as Republican leaders in the Assembly and Senate have made it clear they won’t be debating the proposals which Democratic Governor Tony Evers wants them to consider.
Evers called the special session for action on two measures: a “red flag” law that would allow judges to temporarily remove guns from people deemed a risk to themselves or others, and universal background checks for all sales by private parties, similar tho what gun dealers are already required to do by federal law.
