GOP attorney general candidates look to expand gun rights<\/a><\/p>\n

MILWAUKEE (AP) \u2014 The two frontrunners for the Republican attorney general nomination say they want to expand gun rights for nonviolent felons.<\/p>\n

The Wisconsin State Journal reported<\/a>\u00a0that former state Rep. Adam Jarchow and Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney both said during a debate in Milwaukee on Tuesday night that gun rights should be restored for people convicted of nonviolent felonies when they re-join society. Jarchow said he\u2019s heard from nonviolent felons who are frustrated they can\u2019t use guns to hunt with their grandchildren.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there a narrow way we can restore Second Amendment rights to folks without giving career criminals guns?\u201d Jarchow said. \u201cMaybe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jarchow also jabbed Toney for charging 10 people with violating Democratic Gov. Tony Evers\u2019 stay-at-home orders at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.<\/p>\n

Tony said he later dropped the charges and his office never convicted anyone or shut down a business or church and attacked Jarchow over his lack of prosecutorial experience.<\/p>\n

Karen Mueller, a conservative attorney also running for the GOP nomination, said she wants to investigate baseless claims that hospitals routinely killed patients with COVID-19 vaccines. The vaccines have proven safe.<\/p>\n

The primary is Aug. 9. The winner will face incumbent Democrat Josh Kaul in the November general election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
