And this was a Blue State

According to this New York Times story (5 Killed in Hunting Dispute in Wisconsin):
BIRCHWOOD, Wis. (AP) -- As several deer hunters made their way through the woods of northern Wisconsin, they were startled to come upon a stranger in their tree stand. .... Asked to leave, the trespasser, wearing blaze-orange and carrying a semiautomatic assault rifle, opened fire on the hunters and didn't stop until his 20-round clip was empty, leaving five people dead and three wounded, authorities said.
Makes you feel glad the assault weapon ban was led to die in Congress. Or else these men would have been killed by a crazed deer!

Yeah, it was blue, but just barely, and not THOSE counties.

I betcha it was in the "pop" part of the state too as opposed to the sophisticated "soda" section.
