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." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
