Wisconsin’s Republican-led state Senate approved a measure that would turn the state into a “Second Amendment sanctuary” on June 23, becoming the latest state to do so amid a similar push from GOP governors and state legislatures across the country.

The state Senate passed Assembly Bill 293 on a voice vote, sending the measure to Democrat Gov. Tony Evers’ office. Evers, who has opposed similar legislation, will likely bow to pressure from top Democrats and not sign the measure amid a federal push to enact more gun control restrictions.
