GET ME REWRITE: Wisconsin GOP leadership seems to be OK with domestic violence offenders carrying guns

 
Irresistible headline: Wisconsin Public Radio, 11/22/2023
An unclear path in the Wisconsin Legislature 
The bill's Democratic co-authors said the state legislation is one way to reduce fatal domestic violence, which Sen. Kelda Roys, D-Madison, said is at a 22-year high in Wisconsin. 
The bill is "absolutely clear-eyed in the mission to make sure that Wisconsin does not allow people who are victimized by domestic violence, to be victimized by a partner with a firearm that should have been taken away," said Roys. 
Spokespersons for Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, and Senate Majority Leader, Devan LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, who determine which legislation will appear before the Republican-led Legislature, did not immediately respond to questions about whether the bill will move forward.  [emphasis added]

The Democratic Party leadership is solidly in support of the legislation.
