3regulation of firearms.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law preempts a political subdivision from regulating the sale,
purchase, purchase delay, transfer, ownership, use, keeping, possession, bearing,
transportation, licensing, permitting, registration, or taxation of any firearm,
firearm part, ammunition, or knife in a manner that is more stringent than under
state statute. This bill eliminates the preemption so that a political subdivision may
regulate such activity in a manner that is more stringent than under state statute.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
