Badger Guns is the the biggest seller of crime guns in the United States.
Badger Guns is the the biggest seller of crime guns in the United States. City leaders in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are ramping up their efforts to get guns off the streets. They want tougher laws and they want to crackdown on one particular gun store, Badger Guns.
A total of 1,880 crime guns recovered in Milwaukee were linked to Badger Guns between January 2006 and September 1 – or more than one a day, according to a Journal Sentinel analysis.
Badger Guns isn’t just the biggest seller of crime guns in Milwaukee, but among the biggest in the nation. Badger was one of the top sellers a decade ago and was No. 1 as of 2005, according to federal data. Congress has since forbidden the release of such rankings.
The owner of Badger Guns even made a sign accusing the Milwaukee Police Department of being racist because MPD was doing their job. The message on the Badger Guns sign said, "Racist Milwaukee Police Dep is pulling over African Americans leaving this store. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Personally, I would like to see Badger Guns close for the safety and well being of the people of Milwaukee and the State of Wisconsin. They are selling guns that are being used in crimes. It's just my opinion. What do you think?
