	Chris Larson on Gun Control

Close loophole, only allow minors rifles for legal hunting

The bill would only allow minors to possess a long gun or long barrel rifle if they are legally hunting. Larson said the proposal to clarify state law is necessary to prevent minors from "roaming the streets" with long guns. "This clarifies if you are hunting that's fine, that's the intent of the law," Larson said. "But to say that someone is out when there is a curfew in place, basically going around taunting people with a gun and saying that's acceptable is pretty ridiculous."

Keep 48 hour waiting period for gun purchases

SB 35: An Act to amend waiting period for handgun purchases.

Summary by Pioneer Press (6/9/15)ï¿½ï¿½Wisconsin Republicans moved [toward] eliminating the state's decades-old 48-hour waiting period for handgun purchases, pushing a bill that would wipe out the statutes. Minority Democrats railed against the bill, warning it would enable people caught up in fits of rage or depression to obtain weapons quickly and kill people. Republicans countered that the waiting period inconveniences law-abiding citizens, background checks can now be completed in hours and women could get guns faster to protect themselves and their families from abusers.

Legislative Outcome:ï¿½ï¿½Passed Senate 19-13-1 on Apr/21/15; State Sen. Chris Larson voted NO; Assembly Passed without a roll call on Jun/9/15; Signed by Governor Scott Walker on Jun/24/15.
