Vilas Board Approves 2nd Amendment Sanctuary Vote.  (WXPR, 1/29/2020)
The Vilas County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution supporting 2nd Amendment rights this week by a vote of 14-6. A motion to shorten the resolution failed with an explanation by board chairman Ron DeBruyne [row 1, far right] the “board leadership understands that Wisconsin counties have no authority to proclaim themselves a sanctuary county for anything.” 
The lengthy resolution offerred by the boards chairman and two vice chairman, Jerry Burkett  [row 3, 3rd from right] and Steve Doyen [row 3, mint green shirt] , recognizes both the U.S. and Wisconsin Constitutions that people have the right to bear arms and stresses, as elected officials, all county board supervisors have taken an oath of office to uphold these documents.

Stick a pin in it:  Where the gun nonsense has been taking place in Wisconsin.
