MILWAUKEE - Dozens of gun-rights supporters marched in Milwaukee yesterday, as part of a national “Day of Resistance” by gun owners. Cynthia Ratz, who organized the Milwaukee rally, said Democrats in Washington are trying to take away the right to keep-and-bear arms granted by the Second Amendment.

She said quote, “If you don’t have the Second Amendment, then the government can rough-shod over everything else.” Officials said the rally was peaceful, and it lasted for about a half-hour.

Congress is considering President Obama’s call for uniform background checks for all gun buyers – including those in private transactions – and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
