To help prevent suicides in Wisconsin, residents would be able to prohibit themselves from buying a handgun in the state, under a proposal at the state Legislature circulated last week.
The proposal, authored by Rep. Melissa Sargent, D-Madison, would allow individuals who might be at risk of suicide to sign away their handgun-buying privileges for one, five or 20 years to try and reduce the number of suicides committed with handguns.
"I feel very strongly that we will be saving lives in the state of Wisconsin," Sargent said. "If one life is saved because of this legislation, it would be a win." |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
