Milwaukee Shop Faces Lawsuits Alleging Lax Handling of Its Firearms Sales

By JOE BARRETT
MILWAUKEE—From 2007 to 2009, six police officers from this industrial city were shot with guns that share a troubling history: All were purchased at a single gun shop just across the city line.

Badger Guns is situated just outside the city of Milwaukee, where gun shops are illegal.
Police have long known that Badger Guns, Badger Outdoors and related businesses at the same location in West Milwaukee have ranked in the top 10 nationally among shops that sell guns that wind up being used in a crime.

three cases ended in publicly reported settlements totaling $4.3 million; and others resulted in private settlements.

Looks like the Brady's are taking to extortion.

One case was lost and a few others were dismissed when states passed immunity laws protecting the gun dealers.

Looks like they should add another item to the to-do list for this session in WI.

Hmm? I wonder if he's any relation to the anti gun Milwaukee mayor, failed gubernatorial candidate, Tom Barrett?

Seems to me if they simply enforced the law, those guns would never have been sold by Badger Gun's. Because Badger Gun's shouln't even have been in business! PERIOD! I think the officers families need to the State!
