Governor Evers, the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service, in an article this fall, reported that the Milwaukee Police Department seized 8,076 guns from January 1, 2020 to July 8, 2022. Nearly half of those firearms came from several neighborhoods with Northside zip codes. Given the adage, so goes Milwaukee, so goes the state, how would you curb the presence of illegal firearms in the state? (08:57–09:07)
