Wisconsin Assembly Committee Holds Hearing on Bill to Take on Future Federal Gun Control
MADISON, Wisc. (May 26, 2021) – On Tuesday, a Wisconsin Assembly committee held a public hearing on a bill that would prohibit local enforcement of some future federal gun control.

MADISON, WI (WSAU) The State Assembly has passed a measure that would require all public sporting events played at facilities constructed with taxpayer money begin with a playing of the national anthem.
The measure, currently known as Assembly Bill 226, recently passed the bipartisan Assembly Committee on State Affairs on a 12-0 vote. Tuesday’s vote in the Assembly was 74-22.
It has drawn criticism from some who called it a form of forced patriotism, but co-author Patrick Testin previously told WSAU news that the measure does not require spectator participation, only that the opportunity is there for those who want to salute the flag.
