Second Amendment Rights

Mark Neumann supports the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, which guarantees the right of Americans to keep and bear arms.

The right to hunt and protect oneself went entirely without saying during the colonial and Constitutional period. The 2nd Amendment exists entirely to ensure that the people, after the states, are the last resort of liberty.

Mark Neumann applauds the U.S. Supreme Court decision in McDonald v. City of Chicago for affirming our natural, God-given and Constitutionally protected fundamental right to bear arms.

Mark Neumann received an 'A+' rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA) in the 1990s when running for office.

Concealed Carry

A crucial element of the Second Amendment is the ability of the people to carry weapons for self-defense. Currently, only two states in the union do not have laws enabling their citizens to carry concealed weapons. Our state is one of them.

The Wisconsin State Legislature tried to pass concealed carry legislation twice, only to be vetoed by Governor Doyle both times. Mark supports the limits and exceptions made in that legislation, and will sign that bill as the next Governor of Wisconsin.

Mark believes that the people of Wisconsin have the right to carry concealed weapons for self-defense. The Founding Fathers believed the same thing.

Mark knows that a Strong Wisconsin is a state where the people can protect themselves.
