Gunning for Doyle
When I started to read this Spivak and Bice column, I fully expected to find that the gun nuts were going to put Jim Doyle's face on the targets as they conducted their submachine gun fundraiser.
Doyle has had an NRA target on his back (or front) since he first ran for attorney general in 1990 as an advocate for the Brady Bill and a waiting period to buy a handgun. The relationship hasn't warmed up any since he became governor and twice vetoed concealed weapons bills. The NRA and its allies have tried hard to beat him four times now, and failed every time.
So this event seems like a natural. What a great way to vent some anger. Get all riled up about Doyle and squeeze off a burst.
Why was it canceled? All depends on whose story you believe. The Spice Boys offer several conflicting versions. Pick your favorite.

Don't know, don't care. I'm all for concealed carry, with a background check and mandatory training, as well as range time. Pass all the anti-gun laws you want, it won't affect the criminals. Someday, someone will understand that. Like many lobby groups, on both sides, the NRA goes overboard from time to time.
