Republican proposal for guns on campus a long shot according to state rep. Steve Doyle
Would only have legs if NRA made it a priority and lobbied accordingly.
It wasn’t going to happen the last time it was introduced. It won’t this time, either.
That’s the view of Onalaska state rep. Steve Doyle on a proposal to allow guns on Wisconsin college campuses.
Doyle says the only way for the bill – yet to be introduced – goes anywhere is if the NRA decides the legislation should be a top priority and lobby accordingly.
That’s not the case now. Another issue with the proposal is that it’s coming from a republican who’s on the outs with leaders of his own party.
“I’m not seeing a lot of people in either party that are interested in pushing this issue,” Doyle said.
Doyle says the bill has zero hope, for now, of going anywhere.
