GUN CRAZY USA: More guns, more carnage (Wisconsin edition)

 
Top headline:   Wisconsin State Journal, 2/17/2023
Bottom headline:  Giffords Law Center,  5/4/2022

From  Gifford Law Center:
Each day, hundreds of lives like these are lost or irrevocably changed as this crisis rages on. 
But in the last two years, the tempo of this beat has gotten faster. Gun violence has skyrocketed in cities and towns across the country, leaving more devastation and more trauma in its wake. 
More than 45,000 Americans were killed in acts of gun violence in 2020—a 15% increase over the previous year. This increase was primarily driven by an unprecedented 35% rise in gun homicides. In fact, more people were lost to gun violence in 2020 than any other year on record, and although final data is not yet available, the gun death total in 2021 is likely to surpass these records.
