@LegalEagle tweets this flyer from the National Rifle Association, sent in support of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker:
“Governor Scott Walker believes your life is worth protecting and Tom Barrett does not.”
The ad specifically mentions Walker’s signing the state’s “Castle Law” last year, expanding homeowners’ right to shoot when they feel threatened on their own property.
Facing a recall election on June 5, Governor Walker has been leading steadily in the polls. Still, the race is close enough that an outdoor shop decided to ask the NRA to find somewhere else for its recall meetings. The shop passed a new rule saying they wouldn’t host political events. Nearly a third of Wisconsinites in one survey say they’ve stopped talking politics with someone because of disagreements over Walker.
