AJR61,1,7
3
Whereas, the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that the right to bear arms
4
under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is not unlimited and allows
5
for reasonable restrictions on firearms, including who can have firearms and under
6
what conditions, where firearms can be carried, and what types of firearms are
7
permissible; and
AJR61,1,9
8
Whereas, firearms have become the number one cause of death for children in
9
the United States and Wisconsin; and
AJR61,1,12
10
Whereas, on average, every day in the United States, approximately 327
11
people are injured or killed with guns in murders, assaults, suicides, and accidents;
12
and
AJR61,2,2
13
Whereas, in Wisconsin, approximately 741 men, women, and children are
1
killed with guns each year, 64 percent of whom die as a result of suicide by firearm;

and
AJR61,2,3
3
Whereas, in Wisconsin, over 1,500 people are wounded each year by guns; and

Whereas, gun deaths devastate families in urban, rural, and suburban areas;
5

9
Whereas, gun violence costs our country $557.2 billion in combined direct and
10
indirect expenses annually; and
AJR61,2,12
11
Whereas, studies show that gun safety laws save lives and are associated with
12
lower firearm death rates; and
AJR61,2,14
13
Whereas, Wisconsin has a long tradition of responsible gun ownership, safe
14
gun usage, and training to hunt with firearms; now, therefore, be it
