Thank the sweet FSM that the little one will survive. Seriously, though, shame on Sauk County for electing a paranoid coward to sheriff. No one needs that many handguns that poorly secured unless they are scared of their own damned shadow.

yeah these “patriots” seem to have disappeared while the current shitshow is happening. The Constitution is being shredded and the militias and such aren’t doing shit? I thought they loved America and would defend it!!
