Just a few minutes ago, the Wisconsin State Assembly voted to not overturn Gov. Doyle’s veto of a bill that would have allowed people to carry concealed handguns, knives, and other weapons to shopping malls, outdoor concerts, and other public areas.
Wisconsin is only one out of four states that dont have a concealed carry law and you dont hear about increased violence and people shooting everyone else in the other 46 states that have a law.
The only reason it didn’t pass was because Doyle is an idiot and threatened to take away state funding from the assembly members that voted to override his veto.

 ANCIENT MACEDONIANS AND MODERN MACEDONIANS
The sole purpose of the resolutions was to insult Macedonians and destabilize the Balkans; they had nothing to do with the State of Wisconsin that the legislators were elected to govern.
The situation with the e resolutions in Wisconsin paralleled closely that in Texas last Spring, where an essentially identical resolution was introduced in the Texas Assembly and was left to die in committee by its partially Greek-American sponsor after being exposed by Macedonian-Americans and ridiculed in the media.
The repeated failures of the anti-Macedonian resolutions in the US State Legislatures, whenever the legislators have been made aware by the Macedonian Americans of what they are being asked to support, demonstrate what the American people really think of them: they are false and historically inaccurate and have no business being in the State Legislatures.
