The plan to require judges in Wisconsin to send felons with guns to prison gets its first hearing at the Wisconsin Capitol this week.
An Assembly committee will hear from law enforcement and maybe advocates on the plan that would create a five-year mandatory minimum sentence for felons who are caught illegally possessing guns. Felons are not allowed to have any guns, but many still do. Wisconsin currently doesn’t have a mandatory sentence for felony weapons possession, this plan would change that.
