Madison Mayor Calls For Stricter Gun Laws After Shooting At Shake The Lake Fireworks Show

Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway wants cities and municipalities to regain some control of guns.  Rhodes-Conway is calling for stricter gun laws after a person in the crowd at last weekend’s Shake the Lake fireworks show was wounded.  Wisconsin state law prohibits local governments from enacting stricter gun laws than state statutes.  A spokesperson for the gun rights advocacy group Wisconsin Carry points out that weapons weren’t allowed at the event, so local control might have had no effect.
