Spring Semester Speakers At Law School
From the continuing Law School series “On the Issues with Mike Gousha.”
This speakers series has been a particularly successful one, largely for three reasons: (1.) it has been ideologically balanced, with about an equal number of liberal and conservative speakers, (2.) Gousha has the local visibility and stature to recruit Wisconsin’s “movers and shakers” -- people worth seeing close up, and (3.) the typical format involves Gousha interviewing the speaker, and Gousha is a good interviewer.
More speakers will doubtless be scheduled for spring semester.
Wednesday, January 21 — Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn—When he arrived in Milwaukee last January, one of Chief Flynn’s first public appearances was at Marquette Law School, where he laid out his strategy for reducing crime.

Because of family medical problems I will not be able to attend. However, someone should note the surge in gun purchases in this area as concurrent with the drop in crime and then ask:
"Could there be a basis-in-fact to the maxim, more guns equals less crime"?
